Differential Equations - Solving Differential Equations by Separation of Variables

Show that the differential equation \(4x^{2}\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}=(2xy-1)^{2}-5\) may be reduced to \(x\frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\mathrm{d}x}=u^{2}-1\) by means of the substitution \(u=xy\). Hence, show that the general solution is \(y=\frac{1+Cx^{2}}{x-Cx^{3}}\).
