I'm try to solve this differential equation:
y = x 1 + x y y
After rearranging it I can see that is a linear differential equation:
y + ( 1 x ) y = x 1
So the integrating factor is l ( x ) = e ( 1 x ) d x = e ( 1 x ) x
That leaves me with an integral that I can't solve... I tried to solve it in Wolfram but the result is nothing I ever done before in the classes so I'm wondering if I made some mistake...
This is the integral:
y e ( 1 x ) x = ( x 1 ) e ( 1 x ) x d x

The integrating factor is e ( 1 x ) d x = e x x 2 2
Thus:
e x x 2 2 y + y ( 1 x ) e x x 2 2 = ( x 1 ) e x x 2 2
d d x [ e x x 2 2 y ] = ( x 1 ) e x x 2 2
Hence:
e x x 2 2 y = ( x 1 ) e x x 2 2 d x = C e x x 2 2 . . . . . .

Another way to solve this is:
y + ( 1 x ) y = x 1
y = ( x 1 ) ( y + 1 )
( y + 1 ) = ( x 1 ) ( y + 1 )
( y + 1 ) y + 1 = ( x 1 )
d d x [ log ( y + 1 ) ] = ( x 1 ) . . . . . . . .
