Step 2.3.1

Since $3$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $3$ out of the integral.

$y + C_{1} = 3 \int \frac{1}{2 - x} d x$

Step 2.3.2

Let $u = 2 - x$ . Then $d u = - d x$ , so $- d u = d x$ . Rewrite using $u$ and $d$ $u$ .

Step 2.3.2.1.1

Rewrite.

$\frac{- 1}{1}$

Step 2.3.2.1.2

Divide $- 1$ by $1$ .

$- 1$

Step 2.3.2.2

Rewrite the problem using $u$ and $d u$ .

$y + C_{1} = 3 \int \frac{- 1}{u} d u$

Step 2.3.3

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y + C_{1} = 3 \int - \frac{1}{u} d u$

Step 2.3.4

Since $- 1$ is constant with respect to $u$ , move $- 1$ out of the integral.

$y + C_{1} = 3 (- \int \frac{1}{u} d u)$

Step 2.3.5

Multiply $- 1$ by $3$ .

$y + C_{1} = - 3 \int \frac{1}{u} d u$

Step 2.3.6

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

$y + C_{1} = - 3 (\ln (| u |) + C_{2})$

Step 2.3.7

Simplify.

$y + C_{1} = - 3 \ln (| u |) + C_{2}$

Step 2.3.8

Replace all occurrences of $u$ with $2 - x$ .

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

Step 2.4

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

$y = - 3 \ln (| 2 - x |) + C$
