    3x^2 + 6y^2 = 18

    Divide each term by 18 to make the right side equal 1:

    3x^2/18 + 6y^2/18 = 1

    Simplify each term:

    x^2/6 + y^2/3 = 1

    The form of an eclipse is written as (x-h) ^2/a^2 + (y-k) ^2/b^2 = 1

    Match the values in the ellipse to the standard form:

    a = √6

    b=√3

    k = 0

    h = 0

    The center = (h, k) = (0,0)

    Vertex is h + a, k = (√6,0) and (-√6,0)

    Focus is h+c, k = (√3,0) and (-√3,0)
