15-\left(2t-3\right)=3\left(t+1\right)^{2}-\left(3t^{2}+1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.
15-2t+3=3\left(t+1\right)^{2}-\left(3t^{2}+1\right)
To find the opposite of 2t-3, find the opposite of each term.
18-2t=3\left(t+1\right)^{2}-\left(3t^{2}+1\right)
Add 15 and 3 to get 18.
18-2t=3\left(t^{2}+2t+1\right)-\left(3t^{2}+1\right)
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(t+1\right)^{2}.
18-2t=3t^{2}+6t+3-\left(3t^{2}+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by t^{2}+2t+1.
18-2t=3t^{2}+6t+3-3t^{2}-1
To find the opposite of 3t^{2}+1, find the opposite of each term.
18-2t=6t+3-1
Combine 3t^{2} and -3t^{2} to get 0.
18-2t=6t+2
Subtract 1 from 3 to get 2.
18-2t-6t=2
Subtract 6t from both sides.
18-8t=2
Combine -2t and -6t to get -8t.
-8t=2-18
Subtract 18 from both sides.
-8t=-16
Subtract 18 from 2 to get -16.
t=\frac{-16}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
t=2
Divide -16 by -8 to get 2.
