9+\left(4-2t\right)^{2}=\left(2t\right)^{2}
Calculate 3 to the power of 2 and get 9.
9+16-16t+4t^{2}=\left(2t\right)^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(4-2t\right)^{2}.
25-16t+4t^{2}=\left(2t\right)^{2}
Add 9 and 16 to get 25.
25-16t+4t^{2}=2^{2}t^{2}
Expand \left(2t\right)^{2}.
25-16t+4t^{2}=4t^{2}
Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.
25-16t+4t^{2}-4t^{2}=0
Subtract 4t^{2} from both sides.
25-16t=0
Combine 4t^{2} and -4t^{2} to get 0.
-16t=-25
Subtract 25 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
t=\frac{-25}{-16}
Divide both sides by -16.
t=\frac{25}{16}
Fraction \frac{-25}{-16} can be simplified to \frac{25}{16} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
