\begin{align*} \left (x -y\right ) \sqrt {y^{\prime }}&=a \left (1+y^{\prime }\right ) \end{align*}

Solution by Maple

dsolve((x-y(x))*sqrt(diff(y(x),x)) = a*(1+diff(y(x),x)),y(x), singsol=all)
 
\begin{align*} y \left (x \right ) &= x -2 a \\ y \left (x \right ) &= x -\frac {\left (a^{2}+\left (-c_{1} +x \right )^{2}\right ) a}{\sqrt {\frac {a^{2}}{\left (-x +c_{1} \right )^{2}}}\, \left (-c_{1} +x \right )^{2}} \\ \end{align*}

Solution by Mathematica
