No it cannot because it is different from the difference of the squares formula i.e. (X-Y)(X+Y)
for this, it becomes -(x+y)(x+y) = -(x+y)^2 which is different from the difference of squares identity
for this, it becomes -(x+y)(x+y) = -(x+y)^2 which is different from the difference of squares identity
