How can I solve a system of nonlinear differential equations with constants?

\frac{d\mu }{dt}=-\left( kx\right) \left( \frac{\mu _{m}^{3}-\mu ^{2}\mu<br /> _{m}}{\mu ^{2}+\mu _{m}^{2}-2\mu \mu _{m}+\mu ^{2}K_{s}}\right)
<br /> \frac{dx}{dt}=\mu x
Any method for me to solve the pair of nonlinear equations or numerical graph of the differential equation.

*\mu_{m} and K_{s} are constants.

I suggest first to eliminate t in order to obtain the relationship between x and mu.
So that the function x(mu) appears on the form of a solvable integral (in attachment)
Then bringing back x(mu) into the original ODE system would lead to a differential equation where the remaining unknown function is mu(t).

Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
