If you mean:

(x - 2)2

Then it can be expanded to:

x2 - 4x + 4

If you mean:

(x - 2)2

Then it is the same as:

2(x - 2)

and can be expanded to:

2x - 4

If you mean:

x(-2)2

Then the terms are all multiplied together (a lack of operator between a term and adjacent parentheses indicates multiplication. i.e. 2(3) is the same as 2 × 3):

-4x

And finally if you mean:

x - (2)2

Then the answer is:

x - 4
