Can someone answer this exact equation of differential equation.. (2xy-y)dx + (x²+x)dy=0?

This is a separable equation:
(2xy-y)dx + (x^2 + x)dy
y(1-2x)dx = (x^2+x)dy
(1-2x)/(x^2 + x) dx = dy/y
Expand the left hand side using partial fractions:
(1/x - 3/(x+1)) dx = dy/y
ln(x) - 3*ln(x+1) = ln(y/c)
where c is a constant of integration.
ln(x/(x+1)^3) = ln(y/c)
y = c*x/(x+1)^3

M=(2xy-y)
dM/dy=(2x-1)
N=(x^2+x)
dN/dx=(2x+1)
This is not an exact differential equation as given because dM/dy does not equal dN/dx.
