y=m\left(x^{2}-6x+9\right)
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x-3\right)^{2}.
y=mx^{2}-6mx+9m
Use the distributive property to multiply m by x^{2}-6x+9.
mx^{2}-6mx+9m=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(x^{2}-6x+9\right)m=y
Combine all terms containing m.
\frac{\left(x^{2}-6x+9\right)m}{x^{2}-6x+9}=\frac{y}{x^{2}-6x+9}
Divide both sides by x^{2}-6x+9.
m=\frac{y}{x^{2}-6x+9}
Dividing by x^{2}-6x+9 undoes the multiplication by x^{2}-6x+9.
m=\frac{y}{\left(x-3\right)^{2}}
Divide y by x^{2}-6x+9.
