18\left(x+\frac{1}{3}\right)^{2}+9\left(2x-5\right)=2+18x^{2}-36x-21+6\left(4+3x\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 18, the least common multiple of 2,9,6,3.
18\left(x^{2}+\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{9}\right)+9\left(2x-5\right)=2+18x^{2}-36x-21+6\left(4+3x\right)
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+\frac{1}{3}\right)^{2}.
18x^{2}+12x+2+9\left(2x-5\right)=2+18x^{2}-36x-21+6\left(4+3x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 18 by x^{2}+\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{9}.
18x^{2}+12x+2+18x-45=2+18x^{2}-36x-21+6\left(4+3x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by 2x-5.
18x^{2}+30x+2-45=2+18x^{2}-36x-21+6\left(4+3x\right)
Combine 12x and 18x to get 30x.
18x^{2}+30x-43=2+18x^{2}-36x-21+6\left(4+3x\right)
Subtract 45 from 2 to get -43.
18x^{2}+30x-43=-19+18x^{2}-36x+6\left(4+3x\right)
Subtract 21 from 2 to get -19.
18x^{2}+30x-43=-19+18x^{2}-36x+24+18x
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 4+3x.
18x^{2}+30x-43=5+18x^{2}-36x+18x
Add -19 and 24 to get 5.
18x^{2}+30x-43=5+18x^{2}-18x
Combine -36x and 18x to get -18x.
18x^{2}+30x-43-18x^{2}=5-18x
Subtract 18x^{2} from both sides.
30x-43=5-18x
Combine 18x^{2} and -18x^{2} to get 0.
30x-43+18x=5
Add 18x to both sides.
48x-43=5
Combine 30x and 18x to get 48x.
48x=5+43
Add 43 to both sides.
48x=48
Add 5 and 43 to get 48.
x=\frac{48}{48}
Divide both sides by 48.
x=1
Divide 48 by 48 to get 1.
