You can transform the differential equation to an autonomous differential equation by applying the substitution w(x)=y(x)x2. Then w(x)=y(x)1 and the differential equation becomes
w=w1w,w(0)=2.
This system should be straight forward to solve for w using separation of variables. Once you have found w, y follows from y=w+x+2.

Use a change of variables: u=yx2. Then u=y1 (differentiate with respect to x). We then find that (after subtracting 1 from both sides):
y1=yx2+1(yx2)
u=u1u=u21u
