Answer:


-2x^2 + 8x - 8

Explanation:

To make
-4 - x^2 + 4x - 4 - x^2 + 4x into standard form, we want to combine like terms to get a simplified expression.

In standard form, the highest exponent term always comes first, which here is the
x^2 term.


-x^2 - x^2 = -2x^2

Next comes the b term (bx).


4x + 4x = 8x

Then comes the constant (c).


-4 - 4 = -8

So in total we have
-2x^2 + 8x - 8.

Hope this helped!
