x^{2}+4x+4+x\left(x+1\right)=\left(x+3\right)^{2}+x^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+2\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+4x+4+x^{2}+x=\left(x+3\right)^{2}+x^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply x by x+1.
2x^{2}+4x+4+x=\left(x+3\right)^{2}+x^{2}
Combine x^{2} and x^{2} to get 2x^{2}.
2x^{2}+5x+4=\left(x+3\right)^{2}+x^{2}
Combine 4x and x to get 5x.
2x^{2}+5x+4=x^{2}+6x+9+x^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+3\right)^{2}.
2x^{2}+5x+4=2x^{2}+6x+9
Combine x^{2} and x^{2} to get 2x^{2}.
2x^{2}+5x+4-2x^{2}=6x+9
Subtract 2x^{2} from both sides.
5x+4=6x+9
Combine 2x^{2} and -2x^{2} to get 0.
5x+4-6x=9
Subtract 6x from both sides.
-x+4=9
Combine 5x and -6x to get -x.
-x=9-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-x=5
Subtract 4 from 9 to get 5.
x=-5
Multiply both sides by -1.
