-3\left(x^{2}-4x+4\right)+\left(2x-1\right)\left(2x+1\right)=\left(4-x\right)^{2}+4x+3
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x-2\right)^{2}.
-3x^{2}+12x-12+\left(2x-1\right)\left(2x+1\right)=\left(4-x\right)^{2}+4x+3
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x^{2}-4x+4.
-3x^{2}+12x-12+\left(2x\right)^{2}-1=\left(4-x\right)^{2}+4x+3
Consider \left(2x-1\right)\left(2x+1\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.
-3x^{2}+12x-12+2^{2}x^{2}-1=\left(4-x\right)^{2}+4x+3
Expand \left(2x\right)^{2}.
-3x^{2}+12x-12+4x^{2}-1=\left(4-x\right)^{2}+4x+3
Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.
x^{2}+12x-12-1=\left(4-x\right)^{2}+4x+3
Combine -3x^{2} and 4x^{2} to get x^{2}.
x^{2}+12x-13=\left(4-x\right)^{2}+4x+3
Subtract 1 from -12 to get -13.
x^{2}+12x-13=16-8x+x^{2}+4x+3
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(4-x\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+12x-13=16-4x+x^{2}+3
Combine -8x and 4x to get -4x.
x^{2}+12x-13=19-4x+x^{2}
Add 16 and 3 to get 19.
x^{2}+12x-13+4x=19+x^{2}
Add 4x to both sides.
x^{2}+16x-13=19+x^{2}
Combine 12x and 4x to get 16x.
x^{2}+16x-13-x^{2}=19
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
16x-13=19
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
16x=19+13
Add 13 to both sides.
16x=32
Add 19 and 13 to get 32.
x=\frac{32}{16}
Divide both sides by 16.
x=2
Divide 32 by 16 to get 2.
