18x^2 + 9x - 35 = 0

Explanation:

To get to standard form you must all of the terms must be on one side of the equation and the quadratic must be equal to 0:

21x^2 + 5x - 35 - 3x^2 + 4x = 3x^2 - 4x - 3x^2 + 4x

21x^2 - 3x^2 + 5x + 4x - 35 = 3x^2 - 3x^2 - 4x + 4x

(21 - 3)x^2 + (5 + 4)x - 35 = 0 - 0

18x^2 + 9x - 35 = 0
