Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.031 (sec). Leaf size: 46

dsolve(diff(x(t),t)+(t+1)/(2*t)*x(t)=(t+1)/(x(t)*t),x(t), singsol=all)
 

\begin{align*} x \left (t \right ) &= \frac {\sqrt {t \,{\mathrm e}^{-t} c_{1} +2 t^{2}}}{t} \\ x \left (t \right ) &= -\frac {\sqrt {t \,{\mathrm e}^{-t} c_{1} +2 t^{2}}}{t} \\ \end{align*}
