In part (a), the excess entropy should be a function of T and v (or rho), since these are the constant parameters of the canonical ensemble.

In part (b), the term "integral equation" simply means that your final equation that determines rho(x) will contain an integral involving rho(x). "Self-consistent" suggests that one side of this equation will be rho(x) = ....
