This is a first order separable Differential equation so we can rearrange the equation as follows:

y cosh 2 y sin 2 y = 1

So now we can "seperate the variables" to get:

  cosh 2 y sin 2 y   d y =   d x

The LHS integral is non-trivial and cannot be solved using analytical methods or expressed in terms of elementary functions, and therefore the full DE solution requires a numerical techniques to solve.

If however, the equation is incorrect and should instead read:

y cosh 2 y = sinh 2 y

Then again we have a separable DE which this time yields:

  cosh 2 y sinh 2 y   d y =   d x
  coth 2 y   d y =   d x
  csch 2 y + 1   d y =   d x

Which we can now integrate to get:

- coth y + y = x + c

Which is the GS of the modified equation.
