Algebra 2 help, Help me factor the following question i'm writing below :) Thx a ton in advance!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1375669301957:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm pretty sure we subtract 64 on both sides first to get: |dw:1375669350086:dw|

@Jamierox4ev3r @litchlani

& then I'm guessing 2 group the variables 2gether 2 get:|dw:1375669404875:dw| but then idk what the next step is :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean I think I have 2 use "completing the square" but I 4got how 2 o.O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got center: (-3,-8) and radius 9 can anyone double-check this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean radius 3 ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait yeah 3^2 :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so yeah radius 3 :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

seems correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k thx :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(X+3)^{2} + (Y+8)^{2}=9\] So centre is (-3,-8) and radius 3 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no prob. ^^

Thx 2 both of u @litchlani & @sarahusher :)
