x^{2}+5x+6+\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)-2x\left(x+1\right)=0
Use the distributive property to multiply x+2 by x+3 and combine like terms.
x^{2}+5x+6+x^{2}-5x+6-2x\left(x+1\right)=0
Use the distributive property to multiply x-3 by x-2 and combine like terms.
2x^{2}+5x+6-5x+6-2x\left(x+1\right)=0
Combine x^{2} and x^{2} to get 2x^{2}.
2x^{2}+6+6-2x\left(x+1\right)=0
Combine 5x and -5x to get 0.
2x^{2}+12-2x\left(x+1\right)=0
Add 6 and 6 to get 12.
2x^{2}+12-2x^{2}-2x=0
Use the distributive property to multiply -2x by x+1.
12-2x=0
Combine 2x^{2} and -2x^{2} to get 0.
-2x=-12
Subtract 12 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-12}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=6
Divide -12 by -2 to get 6.
