Using the distributive property of multiplication over addition, x*[x - x] = x*[x + (-x)] = x*x + x*(-x)LHS = x*0 = 0
RHS = x^2 + x*(-x)
Therefore x*(-x) = -x^2 and, by commutativity, -x*x = -x^2
Next
-x*[x - x] = -x*[x + (-x)] = -x*x + -x*(-x)
LHS = -x*0 = 0
RHS = -x^2 + -x*(-x)
Therefore (RHS) -x times -x = +x^2 (LHS).

Why does multiplying negative integers by negative integers result in positive integers?
Any negative integer can be factored to -1 times its positive value. Because negative one times itself is positive one, when multiplied by each other they cancel out. So if you're multiplying a negative integer A by a negative integer B. Replace A and B with -1*|A| and -1*|B| (You can do this because you know A and B are negative), and use the distributive property to rearrange them. Now you can see the -1*-1 term and equate it to 1, leaving only the |A| and |B| behind. Because two positive numbers multiplied together are always positive, the result will always be positive. Represented algebraically, as long as A and B are negative integers, the following is true: AB = -1|A|*-1|B| = -1*-1|AB| = |AB|.
