Find the general solution of the homogeneous differential equation {eq}\displaystyle y'=\frac{x+y}{x-y}. {/eq}

Question:

Find the general solution of the homogeneous differential equation {eq}\displaystyle y'=\frac{x+y}{x-y}. {/eq}

Homogeneous Differential Equations:

There are many types of differential equations, but the homogeneous differential equation is the one of the type {eq}g(x,y) dx=f(x,y) dy {/eq}, where {eq}f {/eq} and {eq}g {/eq} are homogeneous functions of the same power of {eq}x {/eq} and {eq}y {/eq}. To find the general equation of these differential equations, we substitute {eq}y=vx {/eq}. Then the expression is simplified and solved further, and later on, the value of {eq}v=\frac{y}{x} {/eq} is put back in the solution.
