Take out a factor for the x's and another for the y's.

The square term for the x's is and the one for the y's is .

Notice very carefully how we must use the factorization to properly add the same quantities to BOTH sides of the equation.

Factorize on the left and simplify on the right:

Divide both sides by 120:

You might want further refinement for the a^2=60 and your b^2=24
