Answer

$x=\dfrac{2}{y}+\dfrac{4}{y^2}+\dfrac{4}{y^3}-\dfrac{4e^{y+1}}{y^3}$

Work Step by Step

The standard form of the given equation is: $x'+(\dfrac{3-y}{y})x+\dfrac{2}{y}=0$ ....(1) The integrating factor is: $e^{\int (\dfrac{3-y}{y}) dx}=y^3e^{-y}$ In order to determine the general solution, multiply equation (1) with the integrating factor and integrate both sides. $\int [y^3e^{-y} x]' =\int (-\dfrac{2}{y})y^3e^{-y} dy $ or, $y^3e^{-y} x=2y^2e^{-4}+4ye^{-y}+4e^{-y}+c$ Applying the initial conditions, we get $c=-4e$ Thus, we have : $y^3e^{-y} x=2y^2e^{-4}+4ye^{-y}+4e^{-y}-4e$ Hence, $x=\dfrac{2}{y}+\dfrac{4}{y^2}+\dfrac{4}{y^3}-\dfrac{4e^{y+1}}{y^3}$
