What is a general solution to the differential equation #y'-3y=5#? Calculus Applications of Definite Integrals Solving Separable Differential Equations 1 Answer Eddie Jun 26, 2016 #= gamma e^ {3x} - 5/3# Explanation: #y'-3y=5# #y'= 3y+5# #(y')/(3y+5) =1# #int \ (dy)/(3y+5) =int \ dx# #1/3ln(3y+5) =x + alpha# #ln(3y+5) =3( x + alpha)# #3y+5 = e^ {3( x + alpha)} = e^ {3x} e^ {3 alpha} = beta e^ {3x}# #y = 1/3 ( beta e^ {3x} - 5)# #= gamma e^ {3x} - 5/3# Answer link Related questions How do you solve separable differential equations?
