if I have -3x-squared)(-4x-squared) Would that make it 12x-squared or would it be not possible?

If I understand correctly, you have (-3x^2) *(- 4x^2), right?
multiply the coefficients (-3)*(-4) = 12
then add the power 2+2
so the answer should be 12x^4
Remember the rules x^m * x^n = x^(n+m)
and (x^m)^n = x ^ mn

If you meant (-3x^2) x (-4x^2), then that = 12x^4

(-3x^2) (-4x^2) = 12x^4
