Can you give me a few examples of how to covert quadratic equations into standard form (ax^2+bx+c=0)?

The ways that convert by subtracting a equation, that equal to another equation,
from both sides and how to expand and collect like terms of a quadratic equation.

EDIT:

Examples of what kinds of quadratic equation I need to convert into standard form (ax^2+bx+c=0) are:
I know I have to subtract something from both sides (but what sign do I use and what are the steps to convert it):
4x^2+5x=(3x-1)^2-3x^2
3(x^2-2x)=2x^2-8

From what form are you converting? Where are you getting stuck?

Please be complete. Thank you! :D

Complete the multiplication to get:
3x^2 - 6x = 2x^2 - 8

If you can't finish that off, you need classroom help.
