Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Checking for a perfect cube :
1.1 x3+x2-4x-4 is not a perfect cube
Trying to factor by pulling out :
1.2 Factoring: x3+x2-4x-4
Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms :
Group 1: x3+x2
Group 2: -4x-4
Pull out from each group separately :
Group 1: (x+1) • (x2)
Group 2: (x+1) • (-4)
-------------------
Add up the two groups :
(x+1) • (x2-4)
