-x-4+\frac{1}{x}
Subtract 2 from -2 to get -4.
\frac{\left(-x-4\right)x}{x}+\frac{1}{x}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply -x-4 times \frac{x}{x}.
\frac{\left(-x-4\right)x+1}{x}
Since \frac{\left(-x-4\right)x}{x} and \frac{1}{x} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{-x^{2}-4x+1}{x}
Do the multiplications in \left(-x-4\right)x+1.
