The Chain Rule & Implicit Differentiation · Hard problem

A particle moves along the curve xey+yex=1xe^y + ye^x = 1, which has no simple explicit formula for yy in terms of xx. At the instant it passes through (0,1)(0,1), its xx-coordinate is increasing at 22 units per second and its yy-coordinate is decreasing. At this instantaneous rate, how many seconds would it take for yy to decrease by 11 unit?
