Write in Standard Form -(x^2)/5+7-8x

$- \frac{x^{2}}{5} + 7 - 8 x$

Step 1

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

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

Step 2

Move $7$ .

$- \frac{x^{2}}{5} - 8 x + 7$

Step 3

Reorder terms.

$- (\frac{1}{5} x^{2}) - 8 x + 7$

Step 4

Remove parentheses.

$- \frac{1}{5} x^{2} - 8 x + 7$
