How do I convert this standard form equation to vertex form...10 points for first right answer?

OK,

h(x)=3x62+24x-5

How would I convert this to vertex form? Show all steps!

I completely forgot:-(

THANKS

Being a mind reader (!?) , assume question should read:-
h(x) = 3xÂ² + 24x - 5
h(x) = 3(xÂ² + 8x - 5/3)
h(x) = 3 [ ( xÂ² + 8x + 16) - 16 - 5/3 ]
h(x) = 3 [ (x + 4)Â² - 53/3 ]
Vertex (- 4 , - 53)
