need help with this definite integral : (posting the question below)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ dy }{ dx } = \sin (x+y) + \cos (x+y) -1\] the answer given is \[\log_{} [cosec (x+y+ \frac{\pi}{4}) - \cot (x+y+ \frac{\pi}{4}) ] = \sqrt{2}x +c\] what i have done : i took x+y =z the equation then became \[\frac{ dz }{ dx } = \sin z - \cos z\] or \[\int\limits\limits \frac {dz}{\sin z + \cos z} = \int\limits\limits dx\] can't proceed any more..please help

Hint : \[\sin z + \cos z = \sqrt{2} \left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sin z + \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\cos z\right) = \sqrt{2}\sin\left(z + \frac{\pi}{4}\right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it becomes \[\ \frac{1} {\sqrt{2}}\ \int\limits \csc\left(z + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) dz ?? \]
