If you can rewrite the formula as (x-a)² + (y-b)² = r², the center is at (a,b) and the radius is r.
If you work out this equation, and map it to the original, you will find that the +4x term hints that a = 2 (double product) and -12y hints that b=-6, and r=6.
So, the formula can be written as (x+2)² + (y-6)² = 6² and the center is at (-2,6) and the radius is 6.
Lets solve for x.
0.8x = 50. - Remember that the jacket was 80% of the original price.
Thus, divide by x.
x = 50 / 0.8
x = 62.5
Answer:
y = -x/6 + 2
