Answer

$$y= \frac{1}{2}+ce^{-x^2}$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ \frac{dy}{dx}+2xy=x$$ Since \begin{align*} \mu(x)&=e^{\int 2xdx}\\ &=e^{x^2} \end{align*} Then \begin{align*} y\mu(x)&=\int \mu(x) q(x)dx\\ e^{x^2}y&=\int xe^{x^2}dx\\ &=\frac{1}{2}e^{x^2}+c \end{align*} Hence $$y= \frac{1}{2}+ce^{-x^2}$$
