Explanation:

For each of these, we want to write the equation in the form
(x+h)²+(y+k)² = r².

To do this, we evaluate the terms 2hx and 2ky in each equation.  We will take half of this; this will tell us what h and k are for each equation.

For the first equation:
2hx = -2x and 2ky = 2y.

Half of -2x = -1x and half of 2y = 1y; this means h = -1 and k = 1:
(x-1)² + (y+1)² + ___ - 1 = 0

When we multiply (x-1)², we get
x²-2x+1.
When we multiply (y+1)², we get
y²+2y+1.

This gives us 1+1 = 2 for the constant.  We know we must add something to 2 to get -1; 2 + ___ = -1; the missing term is -3.  Add that to each side (to have r² on the right side of the equals) and we have
(x-1)² + (y+1)² = 3
This means that r² = 3, and r = √3 = 1.732.

For the second equation, 2hx = -4x and 2ky = 4y; this means h = -4/2 = -2 and k = 4/2 = 2.  This gives us
(x-2)² + (y+2)² -10 + ___ = 0.

Multiplying (x-2)² gives us
x²-4x+4.
Multiplying (y+2)² gives us
y²+4x+4.
This gives us 4+4= 8 for our constant so far.

We know 8 + ___ = -10; this means the missing term is -18.  Add this to each side of the equation to have
(x-2)²+(y+2)² = 18; r² = 18; r = √18 = 3√2 = 4.243.

For the third equation, 2hx = -8x and 2ky = -6y.  This means h = -8/2 = -4 and k = -6/2 = -3.  This gives us:
(x-4)²+(y-3)²-20 = 0

Multiplying (x-4)² gives us
x²-8x+16.
Multiplying (y-3)² gives us
y²-6y+9.

This gives us 16+9 = 25 for the constant.  We know that 25+___ = -20; the missing term is -45.  Add this to each side for r², and we have that 
r²=45; r = √45 = 3√5 = 6.708.

For the next equation, we factor 4 out of the entire equation:
4(x²+y²+4x+6y-10)=0.
This means 2hx = 4x and 2ky = 6y; this gives us h = 4/2 = 2 and k = 6/2 = 3.  This gives us
4((x+2)²+(y+3)² - 10) = 0.

Multiplying (x+2)² gives us
x²+4x+4.
Multiplying (y+3)² gives us
y²+6y+9.

This gives us a constant of 4+9 = 13.  We know 13+__ = -10; this missing value is -23.  Since we had factored out a 4, that means we have 4(-23) = -92.  Adding this to each side for r², we have
r²=92; r = √92 = 2√23 = 9.59.

For the next equation, we factor out a 5 first:
5(x²+y²-4x+6y+8) = 0.  This means that 2hx = -4x and 2ky = 6y; this gives us h = -4/2 = -2 and k = 6/2 = 3:

5((x-2)²+(y+3)²+8) = 0.

Multiplying (x-2)² gives us
x²-4x+4.
Multiplying (y+3)² gives us
y²+6y+9.

This gives us a constant of 4+9 = 13.  We know that 13+__ = 8; the missing value is -5.  Since we factored a 5 out, we have 5(-5) = -25.  Adding this to each side for r² gives us
r²=25; r = √25 = 5.

For the next equation, we first factor a 2 out:
2(x²+y²-14x-16y-4) = 0.  This means 2hx = -14x and 2ky = -16y; this gives us h = -14/2 = -7 and k = -16/2 = -8:

2((x-7)²+(y-8)²-4) = 0.

Multiplying (x-7)² gives us
x²-14x+49.
Multiplying (y-8)² gives us
y²-16x+64.

This gives us a constant of 49+64=113.  We know that 113+__ = -4; the missing value is -117.  Since we first factored out a 2, this gives us 2(-117) = -234.  Adding this to each side for r² gives us
r²=234; r = √234 = 3√26 = 15.297.

For the last equation, 2hx = 12x and 2ky = -2; this means h = 12/2 = 6 and k = -2/2 = -1:
(x+6)²+(y-1)²-9 = 0

Multiplying (x+6)² gives us
x²+12x+36.
Multiplying (y-1)² gives us
y²-2y+1.

This gives us a constant of 36+1 = 37.  We know that 37+__ = -9; the missing value is -46.  Adding this to each side for r² gives us
r² = 46; r=√46 = 6.78.
