To solve this equation, we first need to expand the left side of the equation:
(x+3)^2 = (x+3)(x+3) = x^2 + 6x + 9
(x-2)(x+2) = x^2 + 2x - 2x - 4 = x^2 - 4
Putting it all together:
x^2 + 6x + 9 - (x^2 - 4) = 13 + 6x
x^2 + 6x + 9 - x^2 + 4 = 13 + 6x
6x + 13 = 13 + 6x
Subtracting 6x from both sides, we get:
13 = 13
This equation is always true, meaning that the original equation is an identity and holds true for all values of x.
