Answer

$$ y= 1+Ce^{-x}$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$y^{\prime}+y=1$$ Since the equation is linear and $p(x)= 1$ and $q(x)= 1$, then \begin{align*} \mu &=e^{\int p(x)}dx\\ &= e^{\int dx}\\ &=e^x \end{align*} Hence the general solution given by \begin{align*} \mu(x)y&=\int \mu(x)q(x)dx\\ e^xy&= \int e^xdx\\ &=e^x+C \end{align*} Then $$ y= 1+Ce^{-x}$$
