Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.001 (sec). Leaf size: 14

dsolve(x*diff(y(x),x$2)=diff(y(x),x)-2*x^2*diff(y(x),x),y(x), singsol=all)
 
\[ y = c_{1} +c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{-x^{2}} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.014 (sec). Leaf size: 21

DSolve[x*D[y[x],{x,2}]==D[y[x],x]-2*x^2*D[y[x],x],y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 
\[ y(x)\to c_2-\frac {1}{2} c_1 e^{-x^2} \]
