The equation of the ellipse should be equal to 11.

10x2+2y2=4010x2+2y240=4040DPE10x2+2y240=110x240+2y240=1 Distributive Propertyx24+y220=1 Get the lowest term\begin{aligned} 10x^2+2y^2&=40\\ \frac{10x^2+2y^2}{40}&=\frac{40}{40}&&\text {DPE}\\ \frac{10x^2+2y^2}{40}&=1\\ \frac{10x^2}{40}+\frac{2y^2}{40}&=1&&\text{ Distributive Property}\\ \frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{20}&=1&&\text{ Get the lowest term} \end{aligned}

Hence, the equation is y220+x24=1\dfrac{y^2}{20}+\dfrac{x^2}{4}=1.
