Let f(x , y)  is the curve passing through point (0 , 2)
Then, the slope of tangent to the curve at point (x , y) is given by  \frac{dy}{dx}
Now, it is given that
\frac{dy}{dx} +5= y + x \\ \\ \frac{dy}{dx}-y=x-5
It is   \frac{dy}{dx}+py=Q   type of equation where p = -1 \ and \ Q = x- 5
Now,
I.F. = e^{\int pdx}= e^{\int -1dx }= e^{-x}
Now,
y(I.F.)= \int (Q \times I.F. )dx+ C
y(e^{-x})= \int ((x-5) \times e^{-x} )dx+ C
Now, Let
I= \int ((x-5) \times e^{-x} )dx \\ \\ I = (x-5).\int e^{-x}dx-\int \left ( \frac{d(x-5)}{dx}.\int e^{-x}dx \right )dx\\ \\ I = -(x-5)e^{-x}+\int e^{-x}dx\\ \\ I = -xe^{-x}-e^{-x}+5e^{-x}\\ \\ I = -e^{-x}(x-4)
Put this value in our equation 
ye^{-x}= -e^{-x}(x-4)+C
Now, by using boundary conditions we will find the value of C
It is given that curve passing through   point  (0 , 2)
2.e^{-0}= -e^{-0}(0-4)+C\\ \\ C = -2
Our final equation becomes
ye^{-x}= -e^{-x}(x-4)-2\\ y=4-x-2e^x
Therefore, the required equation of curve is y=4-x-2e^x
