Write in Standard Form 13+8x=-2x^2

$13 + 8 x = - 2 x^{2}$

Step 1

Add $2 x^{2}$ to both sides of the equation.

$13 + 8 x + 2 x^{2} = 0$

Step 2

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

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

Step 3

Move $13$ .

$8 x + 2 x^{2} + 13 = 0$

Step 4

Reorder $8 x$ and $2 x^{2}$ .

$2 x^{2} + 8 x + 13 = 0$

Step 5
