Equation:

M + 2M = 21


Explanation:

M = Mary's age.
2M = Jhon's age is double Mary's age (2 times)
M + 2M = The sum of these two needs to be 21.


Solving the equation:

M + 2M = 21
3M = 21
M = 21 / 3
M = 7


Mary's age is: 7
Jhon's age is two times Mary's: 7 + 7 = 14


Proof : 7 + 14 = 21


Hope it helped,

svetlana [45]

Answer: (x^2)/16 + (y^2)/25 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem we can figure out that the center of the ellipse is (0,0).

Since the foci is (0,3) and (0,-3) we know that the value of c is 3. The major vertices are (0,5) and (0,-5) so the value of a is 5.

If we put this into the equation a^2=b^2 + c^2, we get 25=9+ b^2

We get b^2 is 16

Now since we know that the ellipse is vertical because the x value didn’t change, we know that the b^2 value comes first in the equation. Then the a^2 value which is 25.
