Starting from equation
[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=\int^x_0 \varphi(t)dt[/tex]
we can write
[tex]dy=dx\int^x_0 \varphi(t)dt[/tex]
Now I can integrate it
[tex]\int^{y(x)}_{y(0)}dt=\int^x_0dx'\int^x_0\varphi(t)dt[/tex]
Is this correct?
Or I should write it as
[tex]\int^{y(x)}_{y(0)}dt=\int^x_0dx'\int^{x'}_0\varphi(t)dt[/tex]
Best wishes in new year and thank you for the answer.

##f(x) = \int_0^x \phi(t) dt## so ##y(x) = \int_0^x f(x') dx' + const##
Thus, it is the second
