1. ## help with integrals needed

I have to solve the following:

$
dy=\frac{du}{x-u}$
, where $u=u(x, y)$.

How do I solve this?
Thank you so much for all your help!

Is this exactly as the original question is stated?

No. I have to solve a quasilinear equation:

$x u_x + y u_y= xy-yu$

I'm trying to find the general soultion so I do the standard procedure from my textbook:

$\frac{dx}{x}=\frac{dy}{y}=\frac{du}{y(x-u)}$

$\frac{dx}{x}=\frac{dy}{y}$ gives me
$ln x=ln y + ln c$, $\phi (x, y)=c=\frac{x}{y}$

And now I try to do the same with $\frac{dy}{y}=\frac{du}{y(x-u)}$ to get $\psi(x, y, u)$, but don't know how.

4. I've had a similar problem:

$\frac{dy}{y+u}=\frac{du}{y-u}$, and this is what I did:

$ydy-udy=ydu+udu$
$(y-u)dy-(y-u)du=2udu$
Then I substituted $z=y-u$ and got $zdz=2udu$.

But I don't know what to do with the problem I stated above..
