\[ \left \{ \left ( y \left ( x \right ) \right ) ^{2}-{\frac {{x}^{2}}{4}}-a{x}^{5}-{x}^{6}{\it \_C1}=0 \right \} \] Mathematica raw input
DSolve[x^2*(1 + a*x^3) + 2*x*y[x]*y'[x] == 6*y[x]^2,y[x],x]
Mathematica raw output
{{y[x] -> -Sqrt[x^2 + 4*a*x^5 + 4*x^6*C[1]]/2}, {y[x] -> Sqrt[x^2 + 4*a*x^5 + 4*x^6*C[1]]/2}}
Maple raw input
dsolve(2*x*y(x)*diff(y(x),x)+x^2*(a*x^3+1) = 6*y(x)^2, y(x),'implicit')
Maple raw output
y(x)^2-1/4*x^2-a*x^5-x^6*_C1 = 0
