2\left(x^{2}+2x+1\right)-\left(x-2\right)^{2}=x\left(x-3\right)
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+1\right)^{2}.
2x^{2}+4x+2-\left(x-2\right)^{2}=x\left(x-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x^{2}+2x+1.
2x^{2}+4x+2-\left(x^{2}-4x+4\right)=x\left(x-3\right)
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x-2\right)^{2}.
2x^{2}+4x+2-x^{2}+4x-4=x\left(x-3\right)
To find the opposite of x^{2}-4x+4, find the opposite of each term.
x^{2}+4x+2+4x-4=x\left(x-3\right)
Combine 2x^{2} and -x^{2} to get x^{2}.
x^{2}+8x+2-4=x\left(x-3\right)
Combine 4x and 4x to get 8x.
x^{2}+8x-2=x\left(x-3\right)
Subtract 4 from 2 to get -2.
x^{2}+8x-2=x^{2}-3x
Use the distributive property to multiply x by x-3.
x^{2}+8x-2-x^{2}=-3x
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
8x-2=-3x
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
8x-2+3x=0
Add 3x to both sides.
11x-2=0
Combine 8x and 3x to get 11x.
11x=2
Add 2 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{2}{11}
Divide both sides by 11.
