The two formulas for the adjunction transposes give both triangle identities for an adjunction directly. Apply the inverse bijection to the transpose of :
(1)
Apply the forward bijection to the inverse transpose of :
(2)
These are equalities of components of natural transformations, so
(3)
No cancellation assumption on either functor is needed: both identities follow from the inverse hom-set bijections.
