Let make substitution v=y
y=dvdx=dvdydydx=vdvdy, so we may write:
vdvdy=43y3v, which is separable first order differential equation:
dv=43y3dy
After you find v you have to solve y=dydx=v, which is also separable first order equation.

For this exact case, the route suggested by makholm is easiest. I just want to mention the general solution for a more general equation, g=f(g)g, where f is some function of g(x), is:dgF(g)+C1=C2+xwhere F(g)=f(g)dg and C2 are integration constants. In this case f(g)=43g3. Thus F(g)=13g4...
