Find a general solution for y in terms of x that satisfies the first-order linear differential equation.
xy' = y − 2x,    x > 0
 
Recall the standard form of a first-order linear differential equation is given by
y' + P(x)y = Q(x),
for some functions 
P(x), Q(x).


Write the given differential equation 
xy' = y − 2x
in standard form. Assume 
x ≠ 0
 so that we may divide by x.  Also assume x > 0 so |x| = x and we will not require any absolute value signs.
y' + (           )y = -2

 
Identify the functions 
P(x) and Q(x)
 from the standard form of the first-order linear differential equation.
P(x)
=
 
 
 
Q(x)
