Hello speeeed,
We are given to solve:
$$y+\left(2x-ye^y \right)y'=0$$
First, let's express the ODE in the differential form $$M(x,y)\,dx+N(x,y)\,dy=0$$:
$$(y)\,dx+\left(2x-ye^y \right)\,dy=0$$
An equation is exact iff $$\frac{\delta M}{\delta y}=\frac{\delta N}{\delta x}$$. Checking for exactness, we find:
$$\frac{\delta}{\delta y}(y)=1$$
$$\frac{\delta}{\delta x}\left(2x-ye^y \right)=2$$
Since in this case $$\frac{\delta M}{\delta y}\ne\frac{\delta N}{\delta x}$$ we may conclude the ODE is not exact.
Next we want to consider:
$$\frac{\frac{\delta M}{\delta y}-\frac{\delta N}{\delta x}}{N}=-\frac{1}{2x-ye^y}$$
Since this is not a function of just $x$, we next consider:
$$\frac{\frac{\delta N}{\delta x}-\frac{\delta M}{\delta y}}{M}=\frac{1}{y}$$
Since this is a function of just $y$, then an integrating factor is given by:
$$\mu(y)=e^{\int\frac{dy}{y}}=y$$
Multiplying the ODE in differential form by this integrating factor, we get:
$$\left(y^2 \right)\,dx+\left(2xy-y^2e^y \right)\,dy=0$$
Now, we can verify that we have an exact equation as:
$$\frac{\delta}{\delta y}\left(y^2 \right)=\frac{\delta}{\delta x}\left(2xy-y^2e^y \right)=2y$$
Since the equation is exact, then there must be a function $F(x,y)$ satisfying:
$$\frac{\delta F}{\delta x}(x,y)=y^2$$
Integrating with respect to $x$, we find:
$$F(x,y)=\int y^2\,dx=xy^2+g(y)$$
To determine $g(y)$, we now take the partial derivative with respect to $y$ and substitute $$2xy-y^2e^y=\frac{\delta F}{\delta y}$$:
$$2xy-y^2e^y=2xy+g'(y)$$
$$g'(y)=-y^2e^y$$
Integrating with respect to $y$, we have:
$$g(y)=-\int y^2e^y\,dy$$
And so we have:
$$F(x,y)=xy^2-\int y^2e^y\,dy$$
Since the solution is given implicitly by $F(x,y)=C$, we may give the solution as:
$$xy^2-\int y^2e^y\,dy=C$$
If we wish to evaluate the integral in the result, we may use integration by parts. Let:
$$I=\int y^2e^y\,dy$$
Using:
$$u=y^2\,\therefore\,du=2y\,dy$$
$$dv=e^y\,\therefore\,v=e^y$$
we now have:
$$I=y^2e^y-2\int ye^y\,dy$$
Using IBP again:
$$u=y\,\therefore\,du=\,dy$$
$$dv=e^y\,\therefore\,v=e^y$$
we now have:
$$I=y^2e^y-2\left(ye^y-\int e^y\,dy \right)=e^y\left(y^2-2y+2 \right)+C$$
Since the constant of integration here is not important, and could just be combined with the constant in the solution above, the solution to the ODE can be expressed implicitly as:
$$xy^2-e^y\left(y^2-2y+2 \right)=C$$
