Step 2.3.1

Split the single integral into multiple integrals.

$F + C_{1} = \int - 5 e^{x} d x + \int - 5 x d x$

Step 2.3.2

Since $- 5$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $- 5$ out of the integral.

$F + C_{1} = - 5 \int e^{x} d x + \int - 5 x d x$

Step 2.3.3

The integral of $e^{x}$ with respect to $x$ is $e^{x}$ .

$F + C_{1} = - 5 (e^{x} + C_{2}) + \int - 5 x d x$

Step 2.3.4

Since $- 5$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $- 5$ out of the integral.

$F + C_{1} = - 5 (e^{x} + C_{2}) - 5 \int x d x$

Step 2.3.5

By the Power Rule, the integral of $x$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{1}{2} x^{2}$ .

$F + C_{1} = - 5 (e^{x} + C_{2}) - 5 (\frac{1}{2} x^{2} + C_{3})$
