Answer

$$y = C{e^{ - x}} + 2$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = - y + 2 \cr & {\text{separate the variables}} \cr & \frac{{dy}}{{ - y + 2}} = dx \cr & {\text{integrate both sides}} \cr & \int {\frac{{ - dy}}{{ - y + 2}}} = - \int {dx} {\text{ }} \cr & {\text{ln}}\left| { - y + 2} \right| = - x + c \cr & {\text{solve for }}y \cr & {e^{{\text{ln}}\left| { - y + 2} \right|}} = {e^{ - x + c}} \cr & - y + 2 = {e^c}{e^{ - x}} \cr & - y = {e^c}{e^{ - x}} - 2 \cr & y = \frac{{{e^c}{e^{ - x}}}}{{ - 1}} - \frac{2}{{ - 1}} \cr & {\text{set }}\frac{{{e^c}}}{{ - 1}} = C \cr & y = C{e^{ - x}} + 2 \cr} $$
