A separable equation typically looks like:
d y d x = g ( x ) f ( y ) .

By multiplying by dx and by f(y) to separate x's and y's,
f ( y ) d y = g ( x ) d x

By integrating both sides,
f ( y ) d y = g ( x ) d x
which gives us the solution expressed implicitly:

F ( y ) = G ( x ) + C
where F and G are antiderivatives of f and g, respectively.
