x^{2}+6x+9=9^{2}+x^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+3\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+6x+9=81+x^{2}
Calculate 9 to the power of 2 and get 81.
x^{2}+6x+9-x^{2}=81
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
6x+9=81
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
6x=81-9
Subtract 9 from both sides.
6x=72
Subtract 9 from 81 to get 72.
x=\frac{72}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=12
Divide 72 by 6 to get 12.
