Completing the Square to Write Standard Equations of Circles Add/subtract to move the constant term to the other side of the equation. Rearrange the terms so that the x’s and y’s are together. Complete the square for the x’s and y’s. Make sure that anything you added to the one side of the equation is added to the other side as well.
