Write in Standard Form -19-7x+x^2=-5

$- 19 - 7 x + x^{2} = - 5$

Step 1

Add $5$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 19 - 7 x + x^{2} + 5 = 0$

Step 2

Add $- 19$ and $5$ .

$- 7 x + x^{2} - 14 = 0$

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 $- 7 x$ and $x^{2}$ .

$x^{2} - 7 x - 14 = 0$

Step 5
