Reorder the terms:
(-2 + x)(x + -4) = x2 + -2x + 12

Reorder the terms:
(-2 + x)(-4 + x) = x2 + -2x + 12

Multiply (-2 + x) * (-4 + x)
(-2(-4 + x) + x(-4 + x)) = x2 + -2x + 12
((-4 * -2 + x * -2) + x(-4 + x)) = x2 + -2x + 12
((8 + -2x) + x(-4 + x)) = x2 + -2x + 12
(8 + -2x + (-4 * x + x * x)) = x2 + -2x + 12
(8 + -2x + (-4x + x2)) = x2 + -2x + 12

Combine like terms: -2x + -4x = -6x
(8 + -6x + x2) = x2 + -2x + 12
