Math Problem Statement

Solve the first-order differential equation: dy/dx = xy - 3x - 2y + 6

Solution

The equation in the image is a first-order differential equation:

dydx=xy3x2y+6\frac{dy}{dx} = xy - 3x - 2y + 6

This is a non-linear ordinary differential equation involving both xx and yy. One approach to solving this would be to attempt a method like separation of variables (if possible), integrating factor method, or another suitable technique depending on how the equation simplifies.
