Explanation:
First, distribute everything in the parenthesis. For the first parenthesis, you can take out the parenthesis because you're basically distributing everything in the parenthesis by 1 which won't make a difference.
For the second parenthesis, you can either distribute the -1 or 4 first. In this case, I will distribute the negative (-1) to the parenthesis first.
Now I'm going to distribute the 4.
Now we can remove the parenthesis.
The rest is just combining like terms.
