Homework Statement


Find general integral of [tex]{(y+z)Z_x+yZ_y=x-y}[/tex]

Homework Equations


[tex]{pZ_x+qZ_y=r}[/tex]
[tex]{f(u_1,u_2)=0}[/tex] (u1 and u2 are first integrals, this is the definition of a general integral)

The Attempt at a Solution


I identified p=x+z, q=y and r=x-y, I'm thinking I might have to do something with integral curves to find the first integrals, but I don't how I would do that.

Thanks for any help!

Had a brain fart when I asked this haha, forgot that [tex]{dx/p=dy/q=dz/r}[/tex] (posted this just incase someone googles a similar problem and sees this thread).
