Question

Rewrite the equation of a circle given below in standard form x² - 24x + y² - 20y = -24

Answer 1

For this case we have the following equation given:

x² - 24x + y² - 20y = -24​

So we can complete the squares with the following:

`(x^2-24x+144)+(y^2-20y+100)=-24+144+100`

And solving we got:

`(x-12)^2+(y-10)^2=220`
