x^{2}-6x+9=\left(x+5\right)^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x-3\right)^{2}.
x^{2}-6x+9=x^{2}+10x+25
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+5\right)^{2}.
x^{2}-6x+9-x^{2}=10x+25
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
-6x+9=10x+25
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
-6x+9-10x=25
Subtract 10x from both sides.
-16x+9=25
Combine -6x and -10x to get -16x.
-16x=25-9
Subtract 9 from both sides.
-16x=16
Subtract 9 from 25 to get 16.
x=\frac{16}{-16}
Divide both sides by -16.
x=-1
Divide 16 by -16 to get -1.
