x^{2}+6x+9-2x+1=\left(x-3\right)\left(x+5\right)+3
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+3\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+4x+9+1=\left(x-3\right)\left(x+5\right)+3
Combine 6x and -2x to get 4x.
x^{2}+4x+10=\left(x-3\right)\left(x+5\right)+3
Add 9 and 1 to get 10.
x^{2}+4x+10=x^{2}+2x-15+3
Use the distributive property to multiply x-3 by x+5 and combine like terms.
x^{2}+4x+10=x^{2}+2x-12
Add -15 and 3 to get -12.
x^{2}+4x+10-x^{2}=2x-12
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
4x+10=2x-12
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
4x+10-2x=-12
Subtract 2x from both sides.
2x+10=-12
Combine 4x and -2x to get 2x.
2x=-12-10
Subtract 10 from both sides.
2x=-22
Subtract 10 from -12 to get -22.
x=\frac{-22}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=-11
Divide -22 by 2 to get -11.
