Write in Standard Form -6=x^2+4x-1

$- 6 = x^{2} + 4 x - 1$

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

Subtract $x^{2}$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 6 - x^{2} = 4 x - 1$

Subtract $4 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 6 - x^{2} - 4 x = - 1$

Add $1$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 6 - x^{2} - 4 x + 1 = 0$

Add $- 6$ and $1$ .

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

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 $- x^{2} - 4 x - 5$ .

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