x^2-10x +25 +y^2-4y +4-4 =0 \\\\(x^2-10x +25) +(y^2-4y +4)=4 \\\\(x-5)^2+(y-2)^2=2^2

The\ standard\ form\ of\ the\ circle:\\\\(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2\\\\where\\(a;\ b)\ are\ the\ coordinates\ of\ a\ center\ of\ the\ circle\\r\ is\ a\ radius\ of\ the\ circle\\------------------------


2x^2+2y^2-20x-8y+50=0\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\x^2+y^2-10x-4y+25=0\\\\x^2-10x+y^2-4y=-25\\\\x^2-2x\cdot5+y^2-2y\cdot2=-25\\\\\underbrace{x^2-2x\cdot5+5^2}_((*))-5^2+\underbrace{y^2-2y\cdot2+2^2}_((*))-2^2=-25\\(x-5)^2-25+(y-2)^2-4=-25\\\\(x-5)^2+(y-2)^2-29=-25\\\\(x-5)^2+(y-2)^2=-25+29


\boxed{(x-5)^2+(y-2)^2=4}\\\\the\ center:(5;\ 2)\\the\ radius:r=\sqrt4=2




(*)\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2
