It is

#sin(x+y)-cos(x-y)=sinx*cosy+cosx*siny-cosx*cosy-sinx*siny= cosx(siny-cosy)+sinx(cosy-siny)=(cosx-sinx)(siny-cosy)#

= (sin x + cos x)(cos y - sin y)

S = sin x.cos y + sin y.cos x - cos x.cos y - sin x.sin y.
S = sin x(cos y - sin y) - cos x(cos y - sin y) =
S = (sin x + cos x)(cos y - sin y)
