u = x . . . . . dv = e^x dx
du = dx . . . . v = e^x
∫ u dv = u v - ∫ v du
∫ x e^x dx = x e^x - ∫ e^x dx
∫ x e^x dx = x e^x - e^x + C

you can use substitution but you are going to end up using integration by parts anyways.
u=x
du=1
dv=e^x
v=e^x
xe^x-integral[e^x]
xe^x-e^x+C.
with substituion.
t=x
dx=dt
integral of te^tdt. As you see here this is the same form as xe^x. And x=t so using substitution doesn't really make this problem easier.
