x^{2}+6x+9-x^{2}=0
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+3\right)^{2}.
6x+9=0
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
6x=-9
Subtract 9 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-9}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=-\frac{3}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-9}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
