$\begingroup$ The exercise has a hashtag and that's what is confusing me. $\endgroup$ – csandreas1 Dec 7 '18 at 11:43

1$\begingroup$ $\#_a(w)$ probably means simply the number of "a"s in $w$... $\endgroup$ – dkaeae Dec 7 '18 at 13:09

$\begingroup$ Why do you copy-paste a grammar for the language $\{ a^ ib^ jc^k \mid i=j \text{ or } j=k\}$ in your question? $\endgroup$ – Hendrik Jan Dec 7 '18 at 18:49

$\begingroup$ My comment is irrelevant to the question, but what a veteran of formal grammar @HendrikJan is! $\endgroup$ – John L. Dec 7 '18 at 20:45
