9x^{2}+12x+4-\left(2x-1\right)^{2}=-5x\left(1-x\right)-18
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(3x+2\right)^{2}.
9x^{2}+12x+4-\left(4x^{2}-4x+1\right)=-5x\left(1-x\right)-18
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(2x-1\right)^{2}.
9x^{2}+12x+4-4x^{2}+4x-1=-5x\left(1-x\right)-18
To find the opposite of 4x^{2}-4x+1, find the opposite of each term.
5x^{2}+12x+4+4x-1=-5x\left(1-x\right)-18
Combine 9x^{2} and -4x^{2} to get 5x^{2}.
5x^{2}+16x+4-1=-5x\left(1-x\right)-18
Combine 12x and 4x to get 16x.
5x^{2}+16x+3=-5x\left(1-x\right)-18
Subtract 1 from 4 to get 3.
5x^{2}+16x+3=-5x+5x^{2}-18
Use the distributive property to multiply -5x by 1-x.
5x^{2}+16x+3+5x=5x^{2}-18
Add 5x to both sides.
5x^{2}+21x+3=5x^{2}-18
Combine 16x and 5x to get 21x.
5x^{2}+21x+3-5x^{2}=-18
Subtract 5x^{2} from both sides.
21x+3=-18
Combine 5x^{2} and -5x^{2} to get 0.
21x=-18-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
21x=-21
Subtract 3 from -18 to get -21.
x=\frac{-21}{21}
Divide both sides by 21.
x=-1
Divide -21 by 21 to get -1.
