Quasilinear Cauchy problem by characteristics

Let u=u(x,y)u=u(x,y) be the solution to the Cauchy problem

(y+u)∂u∂x+y∂u∂y=x−y,x∈R,y>0,u(x,1)=1+x,x∈R.(y+u)\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+y\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}=x-y, x\in\mathbb R, y>0,\qquad u(x,1)=1+x, x\in\mathbb R.

Then which of the following statements is true?
