x^{2}-2x+1=x^{2}-3
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x-1\right)^{2}.
x^{2}-2x+1-x^{2}=-3
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
-2x+1=-3
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
-2x=-3-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-2x=-4
Subtract 1 from -3 to get -4.
x=\frac{-4}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=2
Divide -4 by -2 to get 2.
