Ok I know there are some good maths brains on here, need help with a question please as my mind has gone blank

The variables x and y are related by the differential equation (A):

x³(dy/dx) = xy + x + 1

a) use the substitution y = u - 1/x, where u is a function of x, to show that the differential equation may be written as:

x²(du/dx) = u

I've done this bit, for some reason my mind has gone TOTALLY blank tho for the second bit:

b) Hence find the general solution of the differential equation (A), giving your answer in the form y = f(x)

any help appreciated

cheers

1/u(du/dx) =d(Ln(u))/dx
