\left(2x\right)^{2}-9-4x\left(x+1\right)=2\left(x+3\right)+3
Consider \left(2x-3\right)\left(2x+3\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 3.
2^{2}x^{2}-9-4x\left(x+1\right)=2\left(x+3\right)+3
Expand \left(2x\right)^{2}.
4x^{2}-9-4x\left(x+1\right)=2\left(x+3\right)+3
Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.
4x^{2}-9-4x\left(x+1\right)=2x+6+3
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+3.
4x^{2}-9-4x\left(x+1\right)=2x+9
Add 6 and 3 to get 9.
4x^{2}-9-4x\left(x+1\right)-2x=9
Subtract 2x from both sides.
4x^{2}-9-4x^{2}-4x-2x=9
Use the distributive property to multiply -4x by x+1.
-9-4x-2x=9
Combine 4x^{2} and -4x^{2} to get 0.
-9-6x=9
Combine -4x and -2x to get -6x.
-6x=9+9
Add 9 to both sides.
-6x=18
Add 9 and 9 to get 18.
x=\frac{18}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
x=-3
Divide 18 by -6 to get -3.
