Write in Standard Form 12-4x+2x^2=7

$12 - 4 x + 2 x^{2} = 7$

Step 1

Subtract $7$ from both sides of the equation.

$12 - 4 x + 2 x^{2} - 7 = 0$

Step 2

Subtract $7$ from $12$ .

$- 4 x + 2 x^{2} + 5 = 0$

Step 3

To write a polynomial in standard form, simplify and then arrange the terms in descending order.

$a x^{2} + b x + c = 0$

Step 4

Reorder $- 4 x$ and $2 x^{2}$ .

$2 x^{2} - 4 x + 5 = 0$

Step 5
