Write in Standard Form -2x+4x^2+17=-5x

$- 2 x + 4 x^{2} + 17 = - 5 x$

Add $5 x$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 2 x + 4 x^{2} + 17 + 5 x = 0$

Add $- 2 x$ and $5 x$ .

$3 x + 4 x^{2} + 17 = 0$

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

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

Reorder $3 x$ and $4 x^{2}$ .

$4 x^{2} + 3 x + 17 = 0$
