Write in Standard Form x^2-10x+16=-5

$x^{2} - 10 x + 16 = - 5$

Step 1

Add $5$ to both sides of the equation.

$x^{2} - 10 x + 16 + 5 = 0$

Step 2

Add $16$ and $5$ .

$x^{2} - 10 x + 21 = 0$

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 $x^{2} - 10 x + 21$ .

$x^{2} - 10 x + 21 = 0$

Step 5
