The equation is:
e x ( 1 + x ) d x = ( x e x y e y ) d y
I've tried solving this as a non-exact differential equation but it's definitely incorrect. Not sure if this can be classified as an Bernoulli/Linear Differential equation either.
Any help is appreciated!

e x ( 1 + x ) d x + ( y e y x e x ) d y = 0 e x d x + x e x d x + y e y d y x e x d y = 0 e x d x + x e x ( d x d y ) + y e y d y = 0 e x y d x + x e x y d ( x y ) + y d y = 0 d ( x e x y ) + y d y = 0 x e x y + y 2 / 2 = c

Let u = x e x
d u = e x ( x + 1 ) d x = ( u y e y ) d y
d u d y u = y e y
The solving of this linear ODE leads to:
u = c e y 1 2 y 2 e y
The solution on implicite form is:
x e x = c e y 1 2 y 2 e y
it is possible to express the inverse function x ( y ) thanks to the Lambert-W function:
x = W ( c e y 1 2 y 2 e y )
There is no closed form for the direct function y ( x )
