What is a solution to the differential equation #y'-y=5#? Calculus Applications of Definite Integrals Solving Separable Differential Equations 1 Answer Eddie Aug 7, 2016 #y= C e^x - 5# Explanation: separate it! #y' - y = 5# #y' = y + 5# #1/(y+5) y' = 1# #int 1/(y+5) y' \ dx=int \dx# #int d/dx (int 1/(y+5) \dy) \ dx=int \dx# #int 1/(y+5) \dy=int \dx# #ln(y+5) =x + C# #y+5 =e^(x + C) = C e^x# #y= C e^x - 5# Answer link Related questions How do you solve separable differential equations?
