x^{2}-4-\left(x-1\right)^{2}
Consider \left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right). Multiplication can be transformed into difference of squares using the rule: \left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)=a^{2}-b^{2}. Square 2.
x^{2}-4-\left(x^{2}-2x+1\right)
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x-1\right)^{2}.
x^{2}-4-x^{2}+2x-1
To find the opposite of x^{2}-2x+1, find the opposite of each term.
-4+2x-1
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
-5+2x
Subtract 1 from -4 to get -5.
