x^{2}+\frac{9}{4}=\left(\frac{9}{2}-x\right)^{2}
Calculate \frac{3}{2} to the power of 2 and get \frac{9}{4}.
x^{2}+\frac{9}{4}=\frac{81}{4}-9x+x^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(\frac{9}{2}-x\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+\frac{9}{4}+9x=\frac{81}{4}+x^{2}
Add 9x to both sides.
x^{2}+\frac{9}{4}+9x-x^{2}=\frac{81}{4}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
\frac{9}{4}+9x=\frac{81}{4}
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
9x=\frac{81}{4}-\frac{9}{4}
Subtract \frac{9}{4} from both sides.
9x=18
Subtract \frac{9}{4} from \frac{81}{4} to get 18.
x=\frac{18}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
x=2
Divide 18 by 9 to get 2.
