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

Subtract $4 x$ from $3 x$ .

$2 x^{2} - x + 3 x^{2} - 5 x$

Step 3

Add $2 x^{2}$ and $3 x^{2}$ .

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

Step 4

Subtract $5 x$ from $- x$ .

$5 x^{2} - 6 x$
