What method do I use?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's a linear equation: \[\begin{align*} y'&=\frac{y+x}{x}\\ &=\frac{1}{x}y+1\\ y'-\frac{1}{x}y&=1 \end{align*}\]

OpenStudy (idealist10):

So integrating factor method?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (idealist10):

Got it! I was overthinking. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You could probably also try a substitution to make it separable... but rewriting as a linear eq is simple enough.
