Simplifying
(x + -1)(x + -1) = -4

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(x + -1) = -4

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + x)(-1 + x) = -4

Multiply (-1 + x) * (-1 + x)
(-1(-1 + x) + x(-1 + x)) = -4
((-1 * -1 + x * -1) + x(-1 + x)) = -4
((1 + -1x) + x(-1 + x)) = -4
(1 + -1x + (-1 * x + x * x)) = -4
(1 + -1x + (-1x + x2)) = -4

Combine like terms: -1x + -1x = -2x
(1 + -2x + x2) = -4
