6+\left(2x+3\right)\times 4x=2\left(2x+3\right)^{2}
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{3}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(2x+3\right)^{2}, the least common multiple of 4x^{2}+12x+9,2x+3.
6+\left(8x+12\right)x=2\left(2x+3\right)^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x+3 by 4.
6+8x^{2}+12x=2\left(2x+3\right)^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 8x+12 by x.
6+8x^{2}+12x=2\left(4x^{2}+12x+9\right)
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(2x+3\right)^{2}.
6+8x^{2}+12x=8x^{2}+24x+18
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 4x^{2}+12x+9.
6+8x^{2}+12x-8x^{2}=24x+18
Subtract 8x^{2} from both sides.
6+12x=24x+18
Combine 8x^{2} and -8x^{2} to get 0.
6+12x-24x=18
Subtract 24x from both sides.
6-12x=18
Combine 12x and -24x to get -12x.
-12x=18-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
-12x=12
Subtract 6 from 18 to get 12.
x=\frac{12}{-12}
Divide both sides by -12.
x=-1
Divide 12 by -12 to get -1.
