Answer

$$ y= xe^x+Ce^{x}$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$y^{\prime}-y=e^{x}$$ Since the equation is linear and $p(x)=- 1$ and $q(x)= e^x$, 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^{-x}y&= \int e^{-x}e^xdx\\ &= x+C \end{align*} Then $$ y= xe^x+Ce^{x}$$
