We have:

2 x ln x d y d x + y = 0 ..... [A]

We can use an integrating factor when we have a First Order Linear non-homogeneous Ordinary Differential Equation of the form;

d y d x + P ( x ) y = Q ( x )

So rewrite the equations in standard form as:

d y d x + 1 2 x ln x y = 0 ... . . [ B ]

Then the integrating factor is given by;

I = e P ( x ) d x
    = exp (   1 2 x ln x   d x )
    = exp ( 1 2 ln | ln x | ) (see notes at end)
    = exp ( ln | ln x | )
    = ln x )

And if we multiply the DE [B] by this Integrating Factor, I, we will have a perfect product differential form of [A];

ln x d y d x + ln x 1 2 x ln x y = 0
d d x ( y ln x ) = 0

y ln x ) = A

Which we can rearrange to get:

y = A ln x

Which, is the General Solution.
