$x^{2} + 6 x + 8 = 3$

Step 1

Subtract $3$ from both sides of the equation.

$x^{2} + 6 x + 8 - 3 = 0$

Step 2

Subtract $3$ from $8$ .

$x^{2} + 6 x + 5 = 0$

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 $x^{2} + 6 x + 5$ .

$x^{2} + 6 x + 5 = 0$
