Question

Solve: dy = [2+(y-2x+3)^0.5]dx
The answer in the book is 4(y - 2x + 3) = x^2 + C, but I don't know how to solve.
I've tried solving, but this ODE is not exact, nor homogeneous and I don't think the method of integrating factors apply either.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Turns out to be quite simple. As in many such problems, the trick is to simplify the radicand.
