how do I find the major and minor axes of
9x^2+25y^2-18x=166
9x^2-18x+25y^2=166
complete the square:
9(x^2-2x+1)+25y^2=166+9

This is an equation of an ellipse with horizontal major axis.
Its standard form of equation: , a>b, (h,k)=coordinates of center, a= major axis, b=minor axis.
For given equation:
major axis=175/9
minor axis=7
