Hi,
putting this equation into the standard form of a conic
3y^2 + 20x = 23 + 5x^2 + 12y
3y^2 - 12y - 5x^2 + 20x = 23
3(y-2)^2 -12 - 5(x-2)^2 +20 = 23
3(y-2)^2 -5(x-2)^2 = 15

Conics in General:
Standard Form of an Equation of a Circle is %28x-h%29%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2+=+r%5E2
where Pt(h,k) is the center and r is the radius
Standard Form of an Equation of an Ellipse is %28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+=+1+
where Pt(h,k) is the center and a and b are the respective vertices distances from center.
Standard Form of an Equation of an Hyperbola opening right and left is:
%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+-+%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+=+1 where Pt(h,k) is a center with vertices 'a' units right and left of center.

The standard form is %28x+-h%29%5E2+=+4p%28y+-k%29, where the focus is (h,k + p)
the vertex form of a parabola opening right or left, x=a%28y-k%29%5E2+%2Bh where(h,k) is the vertex.
The standard form is %28y+-k%29%5E2+=+4p%28x+-h%29, where the focus is (h +p,k )

Can you please put this equation into the standard form of a conic, step-by-step?
3y^2 + 20x = 23 + 5x^2 + 12y
**
3y^2 + 20x = 23 + 5x^2 + 12y
3y^2- 12y - 5x^2+ 20x = 23
complete the square
3(y^2-4y+4)-5(x^2-4x+4)=23+12-20=15
3(y-2)^2-5(x-2)^2=15
divide by 15
(y-2)^2/5-(x-2)^2/3=1
This is an equation of a hyperbola with vertical transverse axis of the standard form:
(y-k)^2/a^2-(x-h)^2/b^2=1, with (h,k) being the center of the hyperbola.
For given equation:
Center: (2,2)
a^2=5
a=√5
length of transverse axis=2a=2√5=4.47
b^2=3
b=√3
length of conjugate axis=2b=2√3=3.46

Step 1: Move all variables to left side and constants to right side
%283y%5E2-12y%29+%2B+%28-5x%5E2%2B20x%29=+23
Use completing the square with both x and y expressions.
Step 2: factor out leading coefficients:
3%28y%5E2-4y%29+-5%28x%5E2-4x%29+=23
Step 3: Take 2nd coefficient, Halve it, then square it
3%28y%5E2-4y%2B4%29-5%28x%5E2-4x%2B4%29+=+23
Step 4: Multiply leading coefficient by number found in step 3 and add to right side.
3%28y%5E2-4y%2B4%29-5%28x%5E2-4x%2B4%29+=+23%2B12-20+=+15
Step 5: Factor expressions, notice they are perfect squares
3%28y-2%29%5E2+-5%28x-2%29%5E2+=+15
Step 6: Divide equation by 15, In standard form the right side must be 1.
%28%28y-2%29%5E2%29%2F5+-+%28%28x-2%29%5E2%29%2F3+=+1
Now it is in standard form: A vertical Hyperbola with center (2,2)
