4-x^{2}+\left(2x-5\right)^{2}=3\left(1-x\right)\left(5-x\right)+6
Consider \left(2-x\right)\left(2+x\right). Multiplication can be transformed into difference of squares using the rule: \left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)=a^{2}-b^{2}. Square 2.
4-x^{2}+4x^{2}-20x+25=3\left(1-x\right)\left(5-x\right)+6
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(2x-5\right)^{2}.
4+3x^{2}-20x+25=3\left(1-x\right)\left(5-x\right)+6
Combine -x^{2} and 4x^{2} to get 3x^{2}.
29+3x^{2}-20x=3\left(1-x\right)\left(5-x\right)+6
Add 4 and 25 to get 29.
29+3x^{2}-20x=\left(3-3x\right)\left(5-x\right)+6
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 1-x.
29+3x^{2}-20x=15-18x+3x^{2}+6
Use the distributive property to multiply 3-3x by 5-x and combine like terms.
29+3x^{2}-20x=21-18x+3x^{2}
Add 15 and 6 to get 21.
29+3x^{2}-20x+18x=21+3x^{2}
Add 18x to both sides.
29+3x^{2}-2x=21+3x^{2}
Combine -20x and 18x to get -2x.
29+3x^{2}-2x-3x^{2}=21
Subtract 3x^{2} from both sides.
29-2x=21
Combine 3x^{2} and -3x^{2} to get 0.
-2x=21-29
Subtract 29 from both sides.
-2x=-8
Subtract 29 from 21 to get -8.
x=\frac{-8}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=4
Divide -8 by -2 to get 4.
