Answer:
Explanation:
To put a polynomial in standard form, you would need to write its terms in the order of highest to lowest degree. The degree is the exponent of a term's variable.
is the only equation out of all the choices that satisfies that requirement. (Remember that the degree of -9x is 1. A term with just one variable with no exponent written still has a degree of 1. Also, 12 is a constant, or a number with no variable, so it has a degree of 0.)
