The difference of squares identity states that \( a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b) \).

To apply this to \( 13 \times 19 \), we can express this product in the form of a difference of squares. We notice that \( 16^2 = 256 \), which can be broken down into:

\[
13 \times 19 = (16 - 3)(16 + 3)
\]

This allows us to use \( a = 16 \) and \( b = 3 \), resulting in:

\[
16^2 - 3^2 = 256 - 9 = 247
\]

Therefore, \( 13 \times 19 \) can be rewritten using the difference of squares identity as:

**(16−3)(16+3)**
\[
\text{(16 - 3)(16 + 3)}
\]

This is the correct response.
