Answer:

See image below

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the left structure to the right structure, one pair of electrons on the oxygen is pushed down onto the carbon-oxygen bond (resulting in a double bond). This results in too many electrons on the top carbon. The electrons from the adjacent double bond are subsequently pushed onto the second carbon.
