$4 x^{2} - 9 x - 8 = - 4 x$

Step 1

Add $4 x$ to both sides of the equation.

$4 x^{2} - 9 x - 8 + 4 x = 0$

Step 2

Add $- 9 x$ and $4 x$ .

$4 x^{2} - 5 x - 8 = 0$

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 $4 x^{2} - 5 x - 8$ .

$4 x^{2} - 5 x - 8 = 0$
