What is the first step when rewriting y = 6x2 + 18x + 14 in the form y = a (x - h) 2 + k?

The first step in rewriting the equation given to the vertex form is to transpose first the constant term to the other side to simplify the procedure. It is done as follows:

y - 14 = 6x ² + 18x)

Hope this answer the question.
