$8 = y^{2} - 12$

Step 1

Move all the expressions to the left side of the equation.

Tap for more steps...

Step 1.1

Subtract $y^{2}$ from both sides of the equation.

$8 - y^{2} = - 12$

Step 1.2

Add $12$ to both sides of the equation.

$8 - y^{2} + 12 = 0$

Step 2

Add $8$ and $12$ .

$- y^{2} + 20 = 0$

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 $- y^{2} + 20$ .

$- y^{2} + 20 = 0$
