This solution was posted before the question was edited.
Use Chain Rule. The derivative of LHS is $x^2f(x^2) (2x)$. Put $x=3$ after differentiating.
For the revised version first divide by $x$, then apply Chain Rule and put $x=3$.

Realize that the $x$ in $dx$ (and in $xf(x)$) is a dummy variable. It means that we can replace it with anything without anything changing - so LHS reads:
$$textLHS(x) = intlimits_2^x^2 t f(t) dt$$
It should be now clear - if you take the derivative with respect to $x$ you need only to take care in the $x$ dependence in the upper limit. If you don't know how to deal with this kind of derivatives then first set $x^2 = y$, take derivative with respect to $y$ and figure out how derivative w.r.t. $y$ relates to one w.r.t. $x$.

Realize that the $x$ in $dx$ (and in $xf(x)$) is a dummy variable. It means that we can replace it with anything without anything changing - so LHS reads:

If you don't know how to deal with this kind of derivatives then first set $x^2 = y$, take derivative with respect to $y$ and figure out how derivative w.r.t. $y$ relates to one w.r.t. $x$.
