Answer

$$\frac{{{y^3}}}{3} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{2} = \frac{{{x^2}}}{2} + C$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \left( {{y^2} - y} \right)\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = x \cr & {\text{Separating variables leads to}} \cr & \left( {{y^2} - y} \right)dy = xdx \cr & {\text{To solve this equation}}{\text{, determine the antiderivative of each side}} \cr & \int {\left( {{y^2} - y} \right)} = \int x dx \cr & {\text{integrating by using the power rule we obtain}} \cr & \frac{{{y^3}}}{3} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{2} = \frac{{{x^2}}}{2} + C \cr & \cr & {\text{verifying that the solution satisfies the original differential equation}} \cr & \frac{d}{{dx}}\left[ {\frac{{{y^3}}}{3} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{2}} \right] = \frac{d}{{dx}}\left[ {\frac{{{x^2}}}{2} + C} \right] \cr & {y^2}\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} - y\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = x \cr & \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{x}{{{y^2} - y}} \cr & {\text{substitute }}\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{x}{{{y^2} - y}}{\text{ into }}\left( {{y^2} - y} \right)\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = x \cr & \left( {{y^2} - y} \right)\left( {\frac{x}{{{y^2} - y}}} \right) = x \cr & x = x \cr & {\text{The general solution is verified}} \cr} $$
