Put $u=x-y$ , so $\dfrac{du}{dx}=1-\dfrac{dy}{dx}$ , i.e. $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=1-\dfrac{du}{dx}$ . The equation $(x-y)^2\dfrac{dy}{dx}=a^2$ becomes $u^2\left(1-\dfrac{du}{dx}\right)=a^2$ , i.e. $u^2\dfrac{du}{dx}=u^2-a^2$ , so $\dfrac{u^2}{u^2-a^2}du=dx$ . Since $\dfrac{u^2}{u^2-a^2}=1+\dfrac{a^2}{u^2-a^2}$ , integrating gives $u+\dfrac{a}{2}\log\left|\dfrac{u-a}{u+a}\right|=x+c$ . Substitu …
