8x2-y2-7=9
Step 1
Step 1.1
Add 7 to both sides of the equation.
8x2-y2=9+7
Step 1.2
Add 9 and 7.
8x2-y2=16
8x2-y2=16
Step 2
Divide each term by 16 to make the right side equal to one.
8x216-y216=1616
Step 3
Simplify each term in the equation in order to set the right side equal to 1. The standard form of an ellipse or hyperbola requires the right side of the equation be 1.
x22-y216=1
