Solution

Step 1: Draw a square $A C D F$ with $A C = 2 x$ .
Step 2: Cut $A B = 3$ so that $B C = (2 x - 3)$ .
Step 3: Complete the squares and rectangle as shown in the diagram.
Step 4: Area of yellow square $I D E O =$ Area of square $A C D F -$ Area of rectangle $G O F E -$ Area of rectangle $B C I O -$ Area of red square $A B O G$
Therefore, $(2 x - 3)^{2} = (2 x)^{2} - 3 (2 x - 3) - 3 (2 x - 3) - (3)^{2}$
$=$ $4 x^{2} - 6 x + 3^{2} - 6 x + 3^{2} - 3^{2}$
$=$ $4 x^{2} + 3^{2} - 12 x$
Hence, geometrically we proved the identity $(2 x - 3)^{2} = 4 x^{2} + 3^{2} - 12 x$ .
