\left(-2-\left(-x\right)\right)\left(2+x\right)
To find the opposite of 2-x, find the opposite of each term.
\left(-2+x\right)\left(2+x\right)
The opposite of -x is x.
-4-2x+2x+x^{2}
Apply the distributive property by multiplying each term of -2+x by each term of 2+x.
-4+x^{2}
Combine -2x and 2x to get 0.
