2\left(4x^{2}+4x+1\right)-\left(3x+1\right)\left(3x-1\right)=35-x^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(2x+1\right)^{2}.
8x^{2}+8x+2-\left(3x+1\right)\left(3x-1\right)=35-x^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 4x^{2}+4x+1.
8x^{2}+8x+2-\left(\left(3x\right)^{2}-1\right)=35-x^{2}
Consider \left(3x+1\right)\left(3x-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.
8x^{2}+8x+2-\left(3^{2}x^{2}-1\right)=35-x^{2}
Expand \left(3x\right)^{2}.
8x^{2}+8x+2-\left(9x^{2}-1\right)=35-x^{2}
Calculate 3 to the power of 2 and get 9.
8x^{2}+8x+2-9x^{2}+1=35-x^{2}
To find the opposite of 9x^{2}-1, find the opposite of each term.
-x^{2}+8x+2+1=35-x^{2}
Combine 8x^{2} and -9x^{2} to get -x^{2}.
-x^{2}+8x+3=35-x^{2}
Add 2 and 1 to get 3.
-x^{2}+8x+3+x^{2}=35
Add x^{2} to both sides.
8x+3=35
Combine -x^{2} and x^{2} to get 0.
8x=35-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
8x=32
Subtract 3 from 35 to get 32.
x=\frac{32}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x=4
Divide 32 by 8 to get 4.
