Write in Standard Form 2x^2-x-17=-5

$2 x^{2} - x - 17 = - 5$

Add $5$ to both sides of the equation.

$2 x^{2} - x - 17 + 5 = 0$

Add $- 17$ and $5$ .

$2 x^{2} - x - 12 = 0$

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

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

The standard form is $2 x^{2} - x - 12$ .

$2 x^{2} - x - 12 = 0$
