Step-by-step Solution

Specify the solving method

We could not solve this problem by using the method: Homogeneous Differential Equation

1

The differential equation $\left(2x-1\right)dx+\left(3y+7\right)dy=0$ is exact, since it is written in the standard form $M(x,y)dx+N(x,y)dy=0$, where $M(x,y)$ and $N(x,y)$ are the partial derivatives of a two-variable function $f(x,y)$ and they satisfy the test for exactness: $\displaystyle\frac{\partial M}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial N}{\partial x}$. In other words, their second partial derivatives are equal. The general solution of the differential equation is of the form $f(x,y)=C$

$\left(2x-1\right)dx+\left(3y+7\right)dy=0$
2

Using the test for exactness, we check that the differential equation is exact

$0=0$
3

Integrate $M(x,y)$ with respect to $x$ to get

$x^2-x+g(y)$
4

Now take the partial derivative of $x^2-x$ with respect to $y$ to get

$0+g'(y)$
5

Set $3y+7$ and $0+g'(y)$ equal to each other and isolate $g'(y)$

$g'(y)=3y+7$
6

Find $g(y)$ integrating both sides

$g(y)=\frac{3}{2}y^2+7y$
7

We have found our $f(x,y)$ and it equals

$f(x,y)=x^2-x+\frac{3}{2}y^2+7y$
8

Then, the solution to the differential equation is

$x^2-x+\frac{3}{2}y^2+7y=C_0$
9

Group the terms of the equation

$\frac{3}{2}y^2+7y=C_0-x^2+x$

Final Answer

$\frac{3}{2}y^2+7y=C_0-x^2+x$
