4x^{2}-12x+9=5x+4x^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(2x-3\right)^{2}.
4x^{2}-12x+9-5x=4x^{2}
Subtract 5x from both sides.
4x^{2}-17x+9=4x^{2}
Combine -12x and -5x to get -17x.
4x^{2}-17x+9-4x^{2}=0
Subtract 4x^{2} from both sides.
-17x+9=0
Combine 4x^{2} and -4x^{2} to get 0.
-17x=-9
Subtract 9 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-9}{-17}
Divide both sides by -17.
x=\frac{9}{17}
Fraction \frac{-9}{-17} can be simplified to \frac{9}{17} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
