\left(x-8\right)^{2}+3\times 6^{2}=x^{2}
Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.
x^{2}-16x+64+3\times 6^{2}=x^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x-8\right)^{2}.
x^{2}-16x+64+3\times 36=x^{2}
Calculate 6 to the power of 2 and get 36.
x^{2}-16x+64+108=x^{2}
Multiply 3 and 36 to get 108.
x^{2}-16x+172=x^{2}
Add 64 and 108 to get 172.
x^{2}-16x+172-x^{2}=0
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
-16x+172=0
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
-16x=-172
Subtract 172 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-172}{-16}
Divide both sides by -16.
x=\frac{43}{4}
