Help!! Probability!


Q1. X and Y are two random variables that are independent and each one is uniform in the interval [01]. The joint density is just 1 in the square 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1 and 0 outside. What is the conditional distribution of X + Y given X−Y ? What is the conditional expectation of X + Y given X − Y ?
Q2. If X and Y are independent and each one has an exponential distribution, the joint density is e−(x+y) if x, y ≥ 0 and 0 otherwise. What is the distribution of X − Y ? What is the distribution of X + Y given X − Y ?

Been stuck on this question for hours!
I got 1/2 for the first part of question 1 and 1 for the second part
and I got ∞ for the first part of question 2 and 0 for the second part
