Method of solution.
solution.
Use substitution, either y = ux or x = vy,
where u and v are new dependent variables.
By doing so, the equation will be reduced to a
separable first order DE.
Try y = ux whenever N ( x , y ) is simpler than
M ( x, y )
Try x = vy whenever M ( x, y ) is simpler than
N ( x, y )

Bernoulli Equation
u = Ax + By + C , B ≠ 0.
By doing so, the equation will be reduced to
a separable equation.
