1-\left(3x\right)^{2}-2\left(x-5\right)=3-9x^{2}
Consider \left(1-3x\right)\left(1+3x\right). Multiplication can be transformed into difference of squares using the rule: \left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)=a^{2}-b^{2}. Square 1.
1-3^{2}x^{2}-2\left(x-5\right)=3-9x^{2}
Expand \left(3x\right)^{2}.
1-9x^{2}-2\left(x-5\right)=3-9x^{2}
Calculate 3 to the power of 2 and get 9.
1-9x^{2}-2x+10=3-9x^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x-5.
11-9x^{2}-2x=3-9x^{2}
Add 1 and 10 to get 11.
11-9x^{2}-2x+9x^{2}=3
Add 9x^{2} to both sides.
11-2x=3
Combine -9x^{2} and 9x^{2} to get 0.
-2x=3-11
Subtract 11 from both sides.
-2x=-8
Subtract 11 from 3 to get -8.
x=\frac{-8}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=4
Divide -8 by -2 to get 4.
