Answer

$(x+2)^2+y^2=36$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: The standard equation of a circle whose center is at $(h, k)$ and has a radius of $r$ units is: $(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2$ The given circle has its center at $(-2, 0)$ and a radius of 6 units. Thus, the standard form of the circle's equation is: $(x-(-2))^2+(y-0)^2=6^2 \\(x+2)^2+y^2=36$
