\begin{align*} x y^{\prime }+2 y&=\frac {1}{x^{3}} \end{align*}

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.000 (sec). Leaf size: 13

dsolve(x*diff(y(x),x)+2*y(x)=1/x^3,y(x), singsol=all)
 
\[ y \left (x \right ) = \frac {c_{1} x -1}{x^{3}} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.030 (sec). Leaf size: 15

DSolve[x*D[y[x],x]+2*y[x]==1/x^3,y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 
\[ y(x)\to \frac {-1+c_1 x}{x^3} \]
