dy/dx = (cos x)e^(y+sinx)

i mean i put the y's and x's on the same side but couldn't proceed from it. guidance?

$e^{y+\sin x}=e^{y}e^{\sin x}.$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \cos{(x)}e^{y + \sin{(x)}}$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \cos{(x)}e^{\sin{(x)}}e^{y}$

$e^{-y}\,\frac{dy}{dx} = \cos{(x)}e^{\sin{(x)}}$

$\int{e^{-y}\,\frac{dy}{dx}\,dx} = \int{\cos{(x)}e^{\sin{(x)}}\,dx}$

$\int{e^{-y}\,dy} = \int{e^u\,du}$ upon making the substitution $u = \sin{(x)}$ .

I did this then i did the integral. i got

ln(e^y) + C = e^(sinx) + C

y = e^(sinx) + C [not same C but its still a constant)

however my answer sheet says im wrong

$\int{e^{-y}\,dy} \neq \ln{e^y}$ .

Think about $\int{e^{ax}\,dx}$ . What does that equal? What is $a$ in this case?
