Use Simplify; however, the specific resultant form is determined by
the canonical order of the variables.
bb1 = -Det[{{1, 1, 1}, {y2, y3, y4}, {z2, z3, z4}}] // Simplify
y4 (-z2 + z3) + y3 (z2 - z4) + y2 (-z3 + z4)
-Det[{{1, 1, 1}, {y2, y3, y4}, {x2, x3, x4}}] // Simplify
x4 (y2 - y3) + x2 (y3 - y4) + x3 (-y2 + y4)
