Answer:

The answer to your question is 2√233 ≈ 30.5

Explanation:

Data

(x² + 24x ) + (y² + 4y ) = 85

Process

1.- Complete the perfect square trinomials

(x² + 24x + (12)²) + (y² + 4y + (2)²) = 85 + 12² + 2²

2.- Simplify

(x² + 24x + 144) + (y² + 4y + 4) = 85 + 144 + 4

(x + 12)² + (y + 2)² = 233

3.- Calculate the radius

radius² = 233

radius = √233

diameter = 2radius

diameter = 2√233 ≈ 30.5
