7 girls: 14 legs
7 backpacks * 7 (1big cats +7 kittens): 1568 legs (assuming 4 legs each)
1 table: 4 legs
total: 14+1568+4 = 1586 legs

We have 7 people which result ----> 7 * 2 = 14 legs

Also, the table has 4 legs

The number of the big cats is 7 *7 =49 (big cats)

For every big cat we have ---> 49 * 4= 196 legs

For every big cat we have 7 small cats which means --> 49 * 7= 343 (small kittens)

The number of legs for small kittens is 343 * 4 = 1372 legs

The number of legs is:

14+4+196+1372= 1586 legs are in total

ANSWER

This is an ellipse. The equation is:

$\frac{(x-1)^2}{3^2}+\frac{(y+4)^2}{4^2}=1$

EXPLANATION

We have to complete the square for each variable. To do so, we have to take the first two terms and compare them with the perfect binomial squared formula,

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$

For x we have to take 16x² and -32x. Since the coefficient of x is not 1, first, we have to factor out the coefficient 16,

$16x^2-32x=16(x^2-2x)$

Now, the first term of the expanded binomial would be x and the second term -2x. Thus, the binomial is,

$(x-1)^2=x^2-2x+1$

To maintain the equation, we have to subtract 1,

$16(x^2-2x+1-1)=16((x-1)^2-1)=16(x-1)^2-16$

Now, we replace (16x² - 32x) from the given equation by this equivalent expression,

$16(x-1)^2-16+9y^2+72y+16=0$

The next step is to do the same for y. We have the terms 9y² + 72y. Again, since the coefficient of y² is not 1, we factor out the coefficient 9,

$9y^2+72y=9(y^2+8y)$

Following the same reasoning as before, we have that the perfect binomial squared is,

$(y+4)^2=y^2+8y+16$

Remember to subtract the independent term to maintain the equation,

$9(y^2+8y)=9(y^2+8y+16-16)=9((y+4)^2-16)=9(y+4)^2-144$

And now, as we did for x, replace the two terms (9y² + 72y) with this equivalent expression in the equation,

$16(x-1)^2-16+9(y+4)^2-144+16=0$

Add like terms,

$\begin{gathered} 16(x-1)^2+9(y+4)^2+(-16-144+16)=0 \\ 16(x-1)^2+9(y+4)^2-144=0 \end{gathered}$

Add 144 to both sides,

$\begin{gathered} 16(x-1)^2+9(y+4)^2-144+144=0+144 \\ 16(x-1)^2+9(y+4)^2=144 \end{gathered}$

As we can see, this is the equation of an ellipse. Its standard form is,

$\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1$

So the next step is to divide both sides by 144 and also write the coefficients as fractions in the denominator,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{16(x-1)^2}{144}+\frac{9(y+4)^2}{144}=\frac{144}{144} \\ \\ \frac{(x-1)^2}{\frac{144}{16}}+\frac{(y+4)^2}{\frac{144}{9}}=1 \end{gathered}$

Finally, we have to write the denominators as perfect squares, so we identify the values of a and b. 144 is 12², 16 is 4² and 9 is 3²,
