Answer:

Standard form looks like this:

ax2+bx+c=0

To get this form, subtract the terms on the right-hand side from both sides:

3x2−14x=x2+12

3x2−14x−x2−12=x2+12−x2−12

Group similar terms:

(3x2−x2)−14x−12=(x2−x2)+(12−12)

Simplify the grouped terms:

2x2−14x−12=0

This equation is in standard form. But, we see a common factor of 2 in all of the terms. To simplify the equation further, divide the entire equation through by 2:

x2−7x−6=0
