`dy/dx = x+3` Solve the differential equation

`(dy)/dx = x + 3`


This differential equation is separable since it can be rewritten in the form


`N(y)dy = M(x) dx`


So separating the variables, the equation becomes


`dy = (x+3)dx`


Integrating both sides, it result to


`int dy = int (x+3)dx`


`y+C_1 = x^2/2+3x+C_2`


Isolating the y, it becomes


`y = x^2/2 +3x+C_2-C_1`


Since C1 and C2 represents any number, it can be expressed as a single constant C.


`y = x^2/2 + 3x + C`



Therefore, the general solution of the given differential equation is `y=x^2/2 + 3x+C` .
