How to solve ( 1 + x y ) y d x + ( 1 x y ) x d y = 0 by sepatation, as a linear equation or homogeneous?
We have been taught only these 3 types of problems: separable, linear equations or homogeneous. I tried using these methods, but I don't think this is a homogeneous or a linear differential equation. I tried separating the variables but couldn't. I strongly believe that this can be only solved by separating variables otherwise the question is wrong.

HINT :
A part y ( x ) = 0 and x ( y ) = 0 which both are trivial solutions :
y ( x ) = ( 1 + x y ) y ( 1 x y ) x
t ( x ) = x y t = y + x y = t x ( 1 + t ) t ( 1 t ) x = 2 t ( 1 t ) x
d t = 2 t ( 1 t ) x d x
This is a separable ODE : I suppose that you know how to continue.
