I was wondering about this question:
$$ 9 x ^ 2 -4y^2-72x=0 $$
What is the step-by-step process of writing such an equation which, in this case, has the graph of a hyperbola in standard form?
Please excuse me for my messy equation. As I am relatively new to Mathematics Stack Exchange, I do not know how to insert superscripts.
Thank you ahead of time!

Note that $dfrac(x-h)^2a^2-dfrac(y-k)^2b^2=1$ is the standard form of hyperbola.
$$9x^2-4y^2-72x=0$$
$$9(x^2-8x)-4y^2=0$$
$$(x^2-8x)-dfrac49y^2=0$$
$$dfrac14(x^2-8x)-dfrac19y^2=0$$
$$dfrac14(x^2-8x+16)-dfrac19y^2=dfrac14(16)$$
$$dfrac14(x-4)^2-dfrac19y^2=4$$
$$dfrac(x-4)^216-dfracy^236=1$$
$$dfrac(x-4)^24^2-dfrac(y-0)^26^2=1mbox is the required Hyperbola$$

$$9(x^2-8x+colorred16-16)-4y^2=0$$
