Solve the differential equation: y = 2 ( y + 2 x + y 1 ) 2
I think a substitution is required here to make it linear or separable but my attempt of y=ux does not work.

With the aim of obtain something 'linear', consider the change of variables X = x + a and Y = y + b where a and b are chosen in such way that
{ Y = y + 2 , X + Y = x + y 1.
Then a=−3 and b=2 and you have a new ODE given by
d Y d X = 2 ( Y X + Y ) 2
and here the change of variables Z = Y / X works.

Using Mathematica, I found that given the equation
2 arctan ( 3 x 2 + y ) + log ( 2 + y ) = c ,
differentiating and simplifying it gives
y = 2 ( y + 2 x + y 1 ) 2 .
