Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: General
Step 1: Simplify the integrand using exponent properties.
We use the property $e^{a+b} = e^a \cdot e^b$ and $e^{\ln x} = x$.
$$ \int e^{\ln x + x} dx = \int (e^{\ln x} \cdot e^x) dx = \int (x \cdot e^x) dx $$
Step 2: Apply integration by parts to evaluate the integral $\int x e^x dx$.
We use the integration by parts formula: $\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du$.
Let $u = x$ and $dv = e^x dx$.
Then, we find $du$ and $v$:
$du = dx$
$v = \int e^x dx = e^x$
Now substitute these into the integration by parts formula:
$$ \int x e^x dx = x \cdot e^x - \int e^x dx $$
Step 3: Perform the remaining integration.
We evaluate the integral $\int e^x dx$.
$$ \int e^x dx = e^x $$
Step 4: Substitute the result back and add the constant of integration.
Substitute the result from Step 3 into the expression from Step 2:
$$ x e^x - \int e^x dx = x e^x - e^x + C $$
The final answer is $\boxed{x e^x - e^x + C}$.
