To rewrite the quadratic equation in the standard form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \), we need to move all terms to one side of the equation.
Starting with the given equation:
\[ x^2 - 7x = 4 \]
we can subtract 4 from both sides:
\[ x^2 - 7x - 4 = 0 \]
Now, the equation is in the standard form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \) where:
- \( a = 1 \)
- \( b = -7 \)
- \( c = -4 \)
Thus, the values are:
- \( a = 1 \)
- \( b = -7 \)
- \( c = -4 \)
