Let’s say for example I live in Los Angeles and a United airlines flight from LAX to JFK with a layover in DFW is $500 but that same flight from LAX to DFW is $600. How did I save $100 by adding an extra flight?

Airline flight prices are absurdly inconsistent in so many ways, and ultimately come down to what they think you’ll pay, not what it’s actually worth.
On that note, I worked with a guy who travelled nearly year round, and was always booking flights. He said that if you are booking a round-trip flight from A->B then B->A, if you have a layover each way, you can book A->X->B, B->A->Y, where Y can be anything which is cheaper than just B->A, and then skip the A->Y leg . But don’t try it on the first half, because if you skip X->B the airline usually assumes you are a no-show and will cancel the rest of your itinerary.
