(x - 6)  = (15 - x) 
$$\left(x - 6\right)^{2} = \left(15 - x\right)^{2}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
(x-6)^2 = (15-x)^2

Expand expressions:
36 + x^2 - 12*x = (15-x)^2

(x-6)^2 = 225 + x^2 - 30*x

Reducing, you get:
-189 + 18*x = 0

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$18 x = 189$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 18
x = 189 / (18)

We get the answer: x = 21/2
