Can anyone help me solve this ODE:
..in other words, find a general solution?

dy/dx = e^(x+y)

I use a separation method, but i can't take the natural log of -e^(-y).
So, help?

Perhaps you can move the minus in front of e-y to the other side of your equation before you apply log.

e^(x+y) = e^x * e*y
e^(-y) dy = e^x dx
integrate both sides
