Tricky Separable Differential Equation
Please guide me:
y + a y + b = 0
(a not zero) is supposed to be separable and has solution
y = c e a x b a
Here is my start to this problem:
d y d x + a y = b is as far as I can go with this. How should I go about separating x and

d y d x + a y + b = 0
d y d x = a y b
d y a y + b = d x
Now, can you solve this?

We can take the differential equation
y + a y + b = 0
and write
y + a y = b
then multiply by e a x
e a x y + a e a x y = 5 e a x
Now the term on the left becomes
( y e a x ) = 5 e a x .
Next antidifferentiate and solve for y.
