For the y's you need to use
and for the x's you need to use .
Add them correspondingly INSIDE the grouping symbols. And add the same quantities which result from the remultiplications to the right hand side.




but this is not yet finished as an answer. You should be able to continue and then to finish.

 ------ Rearranging GIVEN equation, and moving CONSTANT to right-side
 
 --- Taking ½ of b on x, also ½ of b on y,                                   
                                                                                                squaring EACH result, then adding to
                                                                                                both sides   
 
 
 
 ---- Dividing by 80 in order to make right-side, 1
Simplifying entire equation gives us:
