I don't suppose this has a name. There are many, many algebraic identities. Most of them lack names.

$a(b-d)=(c-a)d iff ab-ad=cd-ad iff ab=cd$.
The reason ist the distributive property of addition and multiplication in $ mathbb R$.

It is the multilinearity of the determinant (substracting the first column from the second one does not change the determinant), i.e.,
$$
ab-cd=det begin{pmatrix} a & c cr d & b end{pmatrix}=det
begin{pmatrix} a & c-a cr d & b-d end{pmatrix}=a(b-d)-(c-a)d.
$$
