Answer: A= -3

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

a−2=

3+6a

a+−2=2a+1(Distribute)

a−2=2a+1

Step 2: Subtract 2a from both sides.

a−2−2a=2a+1−2a

−a−2=1

Step 3: Add 2 to both sides.

−a−2+2=1+2

−a=3

Step 4: Divide both sides by -1.

−a

−1

a=−3

Line segment WX is the radius of circle X, and line segment ZY is the radius of circle Y. Points W, X, C, Y, and Z are all on li

Point D is the midpoint of the outer circle that we aim to find the area of

The circle has a diameter of WZ and radii of WC and CZ

We know that YZ=YD=10 cm

Let DC be $x$ and CY be $10-x$

The radius of the outer circle can be written as $8+8+x$ or $10+10-x$ which we can equate to find the value of $x$

$8+8+x=10+10-x$
$16+x=20-x$
$2x=4$
$x=2$

Therefore, the radius of the circle is $8+8+2=18$

And hence the area of the circle is $\pi (18^{2})$ =324 $\pi$
