writing an equation in general form (circles)

(keep in mind, its circle math.. :/)
Write the equation (x+9)2+(y-5)2=12 in general form.

If my memory is correct, general form is just Ax2 + By2 + Cx + Dy + E = 0. In this case, A and B are 1. Just expand what you have to write your equation in general form.

okay, but
Ax2 + By2 + Cx + Dy + E = 0
where do i get E...
cause 12 is on the other side of the =

okay, but
Ax2 + By2 + Cx + Dy + E = 0
where do i get E...
cause 12 is on the other side of the =
Then subtract 12 from both sides of the equation.
