#3x^2# + 9x + 1 = 0.

Explanation:

The “standard form” is an equation with each variable arranged in decreasing order of exponent and equated to zero. E.g. #x^2# + x + 1 = 0

In this case, we first must combine all of the terms: 9x + 1 + #3x^2# = 0. Then rearrange them into the “standard form”:
#3x^2# + 9x + 1 = 0.
