x^{2}+16=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}+16-6x=9+x^{2}
Subtract 6x from both sides.
x^{2}+16-6x-x^{2}=9
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
16-6x=9
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
-6x=9-16
Subtract 16 from both sides.
-6x=-7
Subtract 16 from 9 to get -7.
x=\frac{-7}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
x=\frac{7}{6}
Fraction \frac{-7}{-6} can be simplified to \frac{7}{6} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
