4x^{2}+12x+9-\left(2x-3\right)\left(2x+3\right)=6x
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(2x+3\right)^{2}.
4x^{2}+12x+9-\left(\left(2x\right)^{2}-9\right)=6x
Consider \left(2x-3\right)\left(2x+3\right). Multiplication can be transformed into difference of squares using the rule: \left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)=a^{2}-b^{2}. Square 3.
4x^{2}+12x+9-\left(2^{2}x^{2}-9\right)=6x
Expand \left(2x\right)^{2}.
4x^{2}+12x+9-\left(4x^{2}-9\right)=6x
Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.
4x^{2}+12x+9-4x^{2}+9=6x
To find the opposite of 4x^{2}-9, find the opposite of each term.
12x+9+9=6x
Combine 4x^{2} and -4x^{2} to get 0.
12x+18=6x
Add 9 and 9 to get 18.
12x+18-6x=0
Subtract 6x from both sides.
6x+18=0
Combine 12x and -6x to get 6x.
6x=-18
Subtract 18 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-18}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=-3
Divide -18 by 6 to get -3.
