12x-9x^{2}-4-2x+1=9\left(2x-x^{2}\right)+4\left(x+3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3x-2 by 2-3x and combine like terms.
10x-9x^{2}-4+1=9\left(2x-x^{2}\right)+4\left(x+3\right)
Combine 12x and -2x to get 10x.
10x-9x^{2}-3=9\left(2x-x^{2}\right)+4\left(x+3\right)
Add -4 and 1 to get -3.
10x-9x^{2}-3=18x-9x^{2}+4\left(x+3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by 2x-x^{2}.
10x-9x^{2}-3=18x-9x^{2}+4x+12
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+3.
10x-9x^{2}-3=22x-9x^{2}+12
Combine 18x and 4x to get 22x.
10x-9x^{2}-3-22x=-9x^{2}+12
Subtract 22x from both sides.
-12x-9x^{2}-3=-9x^{2}+12
Combine 10x and -22x to get -12x.
-12x-9x^{2}-3+9x^{2}=12
Add 9x^{2} to both sides.
-12x-3=12
Combine -9x^{2} and 9x^{2} to get 0.
-12x=12+3
Add 3 to both sides.
-12x=15
Add 12 and 3 to get 15.
x=\frac{15}{-12}
Divide both sides by -12.
x=-\frac{5}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{15}{-12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
