1

Divide all the terms of the differential equation by $x^3$

$\frac{x^3}{x^3}\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{3x^2y}{x^3}=\frac{x}{x^3}$
2

Simplifying

$\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{3y}{x}=\frac{1}{x^{2}}$
3

We can identify that the differential equation has the form: $\frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)\cdot y(x) = Q(x)$, so we can classify it as a linear first order differential equation, where $P(x)=\frac{3}{x}$ and $Q(x)=\frac{1}{x^{2}}$. In order to solve the differential equation, the first step is to find the integrating factor $\mu(x)$

$\displaystyle\mu\left(x\right)=e^{\int P(x)dx}$
4

To find $\mu(x)$, we first need to calculate $\int P(x)dx$

$\int P(x)dx=\int\frac{3}{x}dx=3\ln\left(x\right)$
5

So the integrating factor $\mu(x)$ is

$\mu(x)=x^3$
6

Now, multiply all the terms in the differential equation by the integrating factor $\mu(x)$ and check if we can simplify

$\frac{dy}{dx}x^3+3yx^{2}=x$
7

We can recognize that the left side of the differential equation consists of the derivative of the product of $\mu(x)\cdot y(x)$

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^3y\right)=x$
8

Integrate both sides of the differential equation with respect to $dx$

$\int\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^3y\right)dx=\int xdx$
9

Simplify the left side of the differential equation

$x^3y=\int xdx$
10

Solve the integral $\int xdx$ and replace the result in the differential equation

$x^3y=\frac{1}{2}x^2+C_0$
11

Find the explicit solution to the differential equation. We need to isolate the variable $y$

$y=\frac{x^2+C_1}{2x^3}$

Final answer to the problem

$y=\frac{x^2+C_1}{2x^3}$
