4x2−y2=1
Evaluate
x2−4y2−4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x2−4y2=0−(−4)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
x2−4y2=0+4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x2−4y2=4
