9y^{2}+18y+9=5y^{2}+\left(2y-3\right)^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(3y+3\right)^{2}.
9y^{2}+18y+9=5y^{2}+4y^{2}-12y+9
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(2y-3\right)^{2}.
9y^{2}+18y+9=9y^{2}-12y+9
Combine 5y^{2} and 4y^{2} to get 9y^{2}.
9y^{2}+18y+9-9y^{2}=-12y+9
Subtract 9y^{2} from both sides.
18y+9=-12y+9
Combine 9y^{2} and -9y^{2} to get 0.
18y+9+12y=9
Add 12y to both sides.
30y+9=9
Combine 18y and 12y to get 30y.
30y=9-9
Subtract 9 from both sides.
30y=0
Subtract 9 from 9 to get 0.
y=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 30 is not equal to 0, y must be equal to 0.
