Step 2.1

Set up an integral on each side.

$\int d y = \int 5 + \frac{1}{x} d x$

Step 2.2

Apply the constant rule.

$y + C_{1} = \int 5 + \frac{1}{x} d x$

Step 2.3.1

Split the single integral into multiple integrals.

$y + C_{1} = \int 5 d x + \int \frac{1}{x} d x$

Step 2.3.2

Apply the constant rule.

$y + C_{1} = 5 x + C_{2} + \int \frac{1}{x} d x$

Step 2.3.3

The integral of $\frac{1}{x}$ with respect to $x$ is $\ln (| x |)$ .

$y + C_{1} = 5 x + C_{2} + \ln (| x |) + C_{3}$

Step 2.3.4

Simplify.

$y + C_{1} = 5 x + \ln (| x |) + C_{4}$

Step 2.4

Group the constant of integration on the right side as $C$ .

$y = 5 x + \ln (| x |) + C$

Step 3

Use the initial condition to find the value of $C$ by substituting $1$ for $x$ and $7$ for $y$ in $y = 5 x + \ln (| x |) + C$ .

$7 = 5 \cdot 1 + \ln (| 1 |) + C$

Step 4.2.1.1

Multiply $5$ by $1$ .

$5 + \ln (| 1 |) + C = 7$

Step 4.2.1.2

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero. The distance between $0$ and $1$ is $1$ .

$5 + \ln (1) + C = 7$

Step 4.2.1.3

The natural logarithm of $1$ is $0$ .

$5 + 0 + C = 7$

Step 4.2.2

Add $5$ and $0$ .

$5 + C = 7$

Step 4.3

Move all terms not containing $C$ to the right side of the equation.

Step 4.3.1

Subtract $5$ from both sides of the equation.

$C = 7 - 5$

Step 4.3.2

Subtract $5$ from $7$ .

$C = 2$

Step 5

Substitute $2$ for $C$ in $y = 5 x + \ln (| x |) + C$ and simplify.
