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
