(tricky) first order ODE
Does anyone see how one can tackle the following ODE?
[tex] [2y*exp^{y/x} + x}] \frac {dy} {dx} -2x - 2y = 0 [/tex] that is my attempt: rearrange to get [tex] dy/dx = \frac {2x + 2y} {2y*exp^{y/x}-x} [/tex] I do not see how to go on from here. Surely, the ODE is not seperabale and I don't find a way to get the integrating factor here. thanks for any hints! [edit:] for a more clearly written version of the ODE see attached file |

First thought would be to try a change of variable, u = y/x, so
du/dx = (1/x) dy/dx - y/x2 = (1/x) dy/dx - u/x |
