Help with solving a first order linear and first order non-linear

[Xyius]

Here is an image of the first order linear differential equation and my attempt to solve it. It ends in an integral that can not be solved.

And here is an image of the first order non-linear differential equation and my attempt to solve it. This one leads to a non-separable differential equation after a substitution.

Any advise?

You have:

(1-y)dx+xydy=0

You can find the 1/M(M_y-N_x) integrating factor for that.

The integrating factor isn't working. I was under the impression you can only use the integrating factor only when the two partials differ by a constant only, which they do not. :\

y(x) cannot be expressed in terms of a finite number of elementary functions. The closed form requires a special function :
