Note: I'm only manipulating the left side. I'm NOT changing the right side. I'm showing the right side for comparison.

cos(x+y)+cos(x-y)=2cos(x)*cos(y) ... Start with the given equation

[cos(x)cos(y)-sin(x)sin(y)]+cos(x-y)=2cos(x)*cos(y) ... Expand cos(x+y)

[cos(x)cos(y)-sin(x)sin(y)]+[cos(x)cos(y)+sin(x)sin(y)]=2cos(x)*cos(y) ... Expand cos(x-y)

[cos(x)cos(y)+cos(x)cos(y)]]+[sin(x)sin(y)-sin(x)sin(y)]=2cos(x)*cos(y) ... Group like terms.

2cos(x)*cos(y)=2cos(x)*cos(y) ... Combine like terms. So this verifies the given identity
