$- 8 - 3 x + 2 x^{2} = 3$

Step 1

Subtract $3$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 8 - 3 x + 2 x^{2} - 3 = 0$

Step 2

Subtract $3$ from $- 8$ .

$- 3 x + 2 x^{2} - 11 = 0$

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

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

$2 x^{2} - 3 x - 11 = 0$
