differential equation

[Timson28]

I solved this differential equation but I'm not sure if I'm right.

Would you check it?

Thanks in advance

Try to plug the solution in the original equation, the same way you would verify solutions of a “normal” (for example linear) equation, see what will you get.

First note that $\displaystyle e^{a+ b}= e^ae^b$ so you can write your solution as
$\displaystyle y= e^{c_1}e^{-x}- 1$.

And, since $\displaystyle c_1$ is an arbitrary constant, so is $\displaystyle e^{c_1}$ so let $\displaystyle C= e^{c_1}$ and
$\displaystyle y= Ce^{-x}- 1$.

Now, $\displaystyle y'= -Ce^{-x}$ so what is $\displaystyle y'+ xy+ x$?

[MATH]\frac{dy}{dx} = -x(y+1)[/MATH]
[MATH]\frac{dy}{y+1} = -x \, dx[/MATH]
now integrate …

The best way to check your answer is:

Differentiate the function you derived and see whether that satisfies the given DE.​

The left side has x and the right side has y'. How does that change to dx on the left and dy on the right? Try "multiplying" both sides by dx
