Simplifying
x(x + -4) = (x + 1)(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
x(-4 + x) = (x + 1)(x + -3)
(-4 * x + x * x) = (x + 1)(x + -3)
(-4x + x2) = (x + 1)(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
-4x + x2 = (1 + x)(x + -3)

Reorder the terms:
-4x + x2 = (1 + x)(-3 + x)

Multiply (1 + x) * (-3 + x)
-4x + x2 = (1(-3 + x) + x(-3 + x))
-4x + x2 = ((-3 * 1 + x * 1) + x(-3 + x))
-4x + x2 = ((-3 + 1x) + x(-3 + x))
-4x + x2 = (-3 + 1x + (-3 * x + x * x))
-4x + x2 = (-3 + 1x + (-3x + x2))

Combine like terms: 1x + -3x = -2x
-4x + x2 = (-3 + -2x + x2)

Add '-1x2' to each side of the equation.
-4x + x2 + -1x2 = -3 + -2x + x2 + -1x2
