Write in Standard Form 2x^2-3=-4x-1

$2 x^{2} - 3 = - 4 x - 1$

Step 1

Move all the expressions to the left side of the equation.

Add $4 x$ to both sides of the equation.

$2 x^{2} - 3 + 4 x = - 1$

Add $1$ to both sides of the equation.

$2 x^{2} - 3 + 4 x + 1 = 0$

Step 2

Add $- 3$ and $1$ .

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

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

The standard form is $2 x^{2} + 4 x - 2$ .

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