Move Terms to One Side: First, let's move all terms to one side of the equation to set it equal to zero.8x+x2−2y−64+y2=0
Rearrange Terms: Now, let's rearrange the terms to organize them by variable. x2+8x+y2−2y−64=0
Factorization Error: Next, we look for a way to factor by grouping or by finding a common binomial factor. But wait, I made a mistake in the previous step; I should have combined like terms correctly.
