9x^{2}+17=\left(3x+4\right)^{2}
Add 1 and 16 to get 17.
9x^{2}+17=9x^{2}+24x+16
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(3x+4\right)^{2}.
9x^{2}+17-9x^{2}=24x+16
Subtract 9x^{2} from both sides.
17=24x+16
Combine 9x^{2} and -9x^{2} to get 0.
24x+16=17
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
24x=17-16
Subtract 16 from both sides.
24x=1
Subtract 16 from 17 to get 1.
x=\frac{1}{24}
Divide both sides by 24.
