Verify the identity:
cos(x+y) + cos(x-y) = 2cosxcosy
This is one of the last problems to my homework and I am having extreme difficulty understanding it. If you could please make your answer as simple to understand, I will greatly appreciate it! Thanks for the help! :)

Cos[x + y] + Cos[x - y] = 2 Cos[x] Cos[y]
Cos[x] Cos[y] - Sin[x] Sin[y] + Cos[x - y] = 2 Cos[x] Cos[y]
Cos[x] Cos[y] - Sin[x] Sin[y] + Cos[x] Cos[y] + Sin[x] Sin[y] = 2 Cos[x] Cos[y]
2 Cos[x] Cos[y] = 2 Cos[x] Cos[y]
Cos[x] Cos[y] - Sin[x] Sin[y] + Cos[x - y] = 2 Cos[x] Cos[y]
Cos[x] Cos[y] - Sin[x] Sin[y] + Cos[x] Cos[y] + Sin[x] Sin[y] = 2 Cos[x] Cos[y]
2 Cos[x] Cos[y] = 2 Cos[x] Cos[y]
