Hi, I have attached part of my steps for solving the homogeneous equation.
The equation is proven to be homogeneous. However after using substitution of y=zx and its' derivative, I was not able to separate the variables conveniently as shown. Please advise. Thank you!

The difficulty is that this equation is NOT homogenous because of the "+ 1" and "-1" terms.
