Homework Statement


I think this is a bernoulli equation in disguise
(y^7-6x)y'+y=0

Homework Equations


I'm having trouble putting it in the form of y'+P(x)y=Q(x)y^n


The Attempt at a Solution


I've tried to divide out (y^7-6x) as well as some other alebraic manipulation but i keep getting stuck. Any advice?
