Question
Find the general solution of $(x+y) \frac{d y}{d x}=1$

Answer

It is given that $(x+y) \frac{d y}{d x}=1$ 
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{x+y}$ 
$\Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d y}=x+y$ 
$\Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d y}-x=y$
This is equation in the form of $\frac{d x}{d y}+p x=Q$(where, p = -1 and Q = y)
Now, I.F. = $\mathrm{e}^{\int \mathrm{pdy}}=\mathrm{e}^{\int-\mathrm{dy}}=\mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{y}}$ 
Thus, the solution of the given differential equation is given by the relation:
$x(I . F .)=\int(Q \times I . F .) d y+C$ 
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{xe}^{-\mathrm{y}}=\int\left[\mathrm{y} \cdot \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{y}}\right] \mathrm{d} \mathrm{y}+\mathrm{C}$ 
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{xe}^{-\mathrm{y}}=\mathrm{y} \int \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{y}} \mathrm{dy}-\int\left[\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dy}}(\mathrm{y}) \int \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{y}} \mathrm{dy}\right] \mathrm{dy}+\mathrm{C}$ 
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{xe}^{-\mathrm{y}}=\mathrm{y}\left(-\mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{y}}\right)-\int\left(-\mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{y}}\right) \mathrm{d} \mathrm{y}+\mathrm{C}$ 
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{xe}^{-\mathrm{y}}=-\mathrm{ye}^{-\mathrm{y}}+\int \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{y}} \mathrm{dy}+\mathrm{C}$ 
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{xe}^{-\mathrm{y}}=-\mathrm{ye}^{-\mathrm{y}}-\mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{y}}+\mathrm{C}$ 
$\Rightarrow$ x = - y – 1 + Cey
$\Rightarrow$ x + y + 1 = Cey
Therefore, the required general solution of the given differential equation is
x + y + 1 = Cey
