Add #3k^2 - 2h^2 - 268# to both sides:
#-2x^2 + 4x - 2h^2 + 3y^2 - 60y + 3k^2 = 3k^2 - 2h^2 - 268#
Remove a factor of -2 from the first 3 terms and a factor of 3 from the next 3 terms:
#-2(x^2 - 2x + h^2) + 3(y^2 - 20y + k^2) = 3k^2 - 2h^2 - 268#
Using the pattern, #(x - h)^2 = x^2 -2hx + h^2#, set the right side of the pattern equal to the first three terms:
#x^2 -2hx + h^2 = x^2 - 2x + h^2#
Combine like terms:
#-2hx = - 2x#
Solve for #h# and compute #h^2#:
#h = 1, h^2 = 1#
Substitute #(x - 1)^2# for #x^2 - 2x + h^2# and #-2# for #-2h^2#
#-2(x - 1)^2 + 3(y^2 - 20y + k^2) = 3k^2 - 2 - 268#
Using the pattern, #(y - k)^2 = y^2 -2ky + k^2#, set the right side of the pattern equal to the second three terms:
#y^2 -2ky + k^2 = y^2 - 20y + k^2#
Combine like terms:
#-2ky = -20y#
#k = 10, k^2 = 100#
Substitute #(y - 10)^2# for #y^2 - 20y + k^2# and #300# for #3k^2#
#-2(x - 1)^2 + 3(y - 10)^2 = 300 - 2 - 268#
Combine the terms on the right:
#-2(x - 1)^2 + 3(y - 10)^2 = 30#
Divide both sides by 30:
#(y - 10)^2/10 -(x - 1)^2/15 = 1#
Write the denominators as squares:
#(y - 10)^2/(sqrt(10))^2 -(x - 1)^2/(sqrt(15))^2 = 1#
