Assuming that CB is tangent, this is just a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 20 and a side of 12 so by the Pythagorean Theorem:
20^2=12^2+x^2
400=144+x^2
x^2=400-144
x^2=256
x=16
The answer is -11
You put "-1" in place of all the "a"s and get
-(-1) - 12(-1)^2
-(-1) is just 1, and (-1)^2 is "1"
We are then left with 1-12(1) which is 1-12 which is -11
