Homework Statement


dy/dx = (x-y+2) / (x+y-2) , by using x=X and y=Y+2 , form a differential equation .

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


the author gave the answer as (Y^2) +(2XY) -(X^2)+A= 0 , while my answer is (Y^2) +(2XY) -(X^2)+A(X^4)= 0
is there anything wrong with my answer?

Hint: check how you applied the rule ##\log a - \log b=\log \frac{a}{b}##.
