Explanation:


{x}^(2) - 14x - 25 {y}^(2) + 100y = 76

Factor by grouping,


( {x}^(2) - 14x) - (25 {y}^(2) - 100y) = 76

Complete the square, with the x variables,


( {x}^(2) - 14x + 49) - (25 {y}^(2) - 100y) = 125

Factor out 25 for the y variables


( {x}^(2) - 14x + 49) - 25( {y}^(2) - 4y) = 125

Complete the square


( {x}^(2) - 14x + 49) - 25( {y}^(2) - 4y + 4) = 25

Simplify the perfect square trinomial


(x - 7) {}^(2) - 25(y - 2) {}^(2) = 25

Make the right side be 1 so divide everything by 25.


\frac{(x - 7) {}^(2) }{25} - (y - 2) {}^(2) = 1

Here our center is (7,2).
