2\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right)=3\left(x-1\right)+2x^{2}
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
\left(2x-6\right)\left(x+3\right)=3\left(x-1\right)+2x^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-3.
2x^{2}-18=3\left(x-1\right)+2x^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x-6 by x+3 and combine like terms.
2x^{2}-18=3x-3+2x^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-1.
2x^{2}-18-3x=-3+2x^{2}
Subtract 3x from both sides.
2x^{2}-18-3x-2x^{2}=-3
Subtract 2x^{2} from both sides.
-18-3x=-3
Combine 2x^{2} and -2x^{2} to get 0.
-3x=-3+18
Add 18 to both sides.
-3x=15
Add -3 and 18 to get 15.
x=\frac{15}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=-5
Divide 15 by -3 to get -5.
