Homework Statement



Find the general solution to

[tex]y\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} y} + 2x = 5y^3[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution



I didn't know if they wanted to say x(y) or y(x)

So i went with x(y)

[tex]\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} y} + \frac{2x}{y} = 5y^2[/tex]

Now this is bad because I got [tex]\frac{2x}{y}[/tex]

Solutions say that

[tex]x = y^3 + Cy^{-2}[/tex]

EDIT: NEVER MIND, SOLVED IT
