    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.

    I think it is the derivation of

    (x^2y-xy)+(x^2y+xy)=0

    2x^2y=0

    x^2y=0
