x^{2}+1=9-6x+x^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(3-x\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+1+6x=9+x^{2}
Add 6x to both sides.
x^{2}+1+6x-x^{2}=9
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
1+6x=9
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
6x=9-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
6x=8
Subtract 1 from 9 to get 8.
x=\frac{8}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=\frac{4}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
