Question

X(2x-4) =5 is in standard form

Answer 1

Answer:

`2x^2-4x-5=0` is standard form.

Explanation:
Standard form of a quadratic equation should be equal to 0. Standard form should be
`ax^2+bx+c=0`, unless this isn't a quadratic equation?

We can convert your equation to standard form with a few calculations. First, subtract 5 from both sides:

`x(2x-4)-5=0`

Then, distribute the x in front:

`2x^2-4x-5=0`

The equation should now be in standard form. (Unless, again, this isn't a quadratic equation – "standard form" can mean different things in different areas of math).
