Start by dividing both sides by 2:


Next, add +12 to each side, group the x terms and y terms together, and prepare to complete the square:


To complete the square, you must take half of the x and y coefficients, respectively, and square. Add that number to both sides on the blank lines that I provided.



This is a circle, with center at (3,-2) and of radius 5. Can you draw the graph?
