Question

What two steps are necessary to put this equation into standard form?
x^2-3x+27=8x-3

A. Add 3 to both sides and subtract 8x from both sides.
B. add 3 to both sides and add 8x from both sides.
C. the equation is already in standard form.
D. Subtract 3 from sides and subtract 8x from both sides.

Answer 1

x² - 3x + 27 = 8x - 3     аdd 3 to both sides  ⇒
           + 3          + 3
---------------------------
x² - 3x + 30 = 8x         subtract 8x from both sides ⇒
    - 8x          - 8x
--------------------------
x² - 11x + 30 = 0    ←  standard form


A. Add 3 to both sides and subtract 8x from both sides.
