Steps

Step 1 :The general equation of a circle is given by (xh)2+(yk)2=r2. Comparing this with the given equation, we can see that the coefficients of x and y are 2h and 2k respectively.

Step 2 :Therefore, we can find h by dividing the coefficient of x by 2.

Step 3 :So, h=4.0

Step 4 :Final Answer: 4.0
