Explanation: For the first given equation, we will need to isolate the x². This can be done as follows: x² + y² = 25 x² + y² - y² = 25 - y² x² = 25 - y² ..................> I
For the second given equation: We will remove every x² and substitute with its equivalence from I as follows: [tex] \frac{x^2}{16} + \frac{y^2}{9} = 1[/tex]
