I'm trying to solve this differential equation:
d y d x = x exp ( y ) y + exp ( y )
I thought I could use separation of variable, but I'm unable to isolate x.
Could you please help me get started on this differential equation?

d y d x = x e y y + e y
( x e y ) d x d y = y + e y
The substitution u = x e y brings the above ODE to the Abel equation of the second kind of the form
u d u d y = y + e y e y u
The substitution u = 1 v brings the above ODE to the Abel equation of the first kind of the form
d v d y = e y v 2 ( y + e y ) v 3
