x^{2}-4x+4+\left(y-2\right)^{2}=1\left(x-\left(-2\right)\right)^{2}+y-4
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x-2\right)^{2}.
x^{2}-4x+4+y^{2}-4y+4=1\left(x-\left(-2\right)\right)^{2}+y-4
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(y-2\right)^{2}.
x^{2}-4x+8+y^{2}-4y=1\left(x-\left(-2\right)\right)^{2}+y-4
Add 4 and 4 to get 8.
x^{2}-4x+8+y^{2}-4y=1\left(x+2\right)^{2}+y-4
The opposite of -2 is 2.
x^{2}-4x+8+y^{2}-4y=1\left(x^{2}+4x+4\right)+y-4
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+2\right)^{2}.
x^{2}-4x+8+y^{2}-4y=x^{2}+4x+4+y-4
Use the distributive property to multiply 1 by x^{2}+4x+4.
x^{2}-4x+8+y^{2}-4y=x^{2}+4x+y
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
x^{2}-4x+8+y^{2}-4y-x^{2}=4x+y
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
-4x+8+y^{2}-4y=4x+y
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
-4x+8+y^{2}-4y-4x=y
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-8x+8+y^{2}-4y=y
Combine -4x and -4x to get -8x.
-8x+y^{2}-4y=y-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
-8x-4y=y-8-y^{2}
Subtract y^{2} from both sides.
-8x=y-8-y^{2}+4y
Add 4y to both sides.
-8x=5y-8-y^{2}
Combine y and 4y to get 5y.
-8x=-y^{2}+5y-8
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-8x}{-8}=\frac{-y^{2}+5y-8}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
x=\frac{-y^{2}+5y-8}{-8}
Dividing by -8 undoes the multiplication by -8.
x=\frac{y^{2}}{8}-\frac{5y}{8}+1
Divide 5y-8-y^{2} by -8.
