From example 3.5.2, page 211 nonlinear pde’s by Lokenath Debnath, 3rd edition.
Solve for \(u(x,y)\) \begin {align*} x u_x+y u_y&=n u \end {align*}
Mathematica ✓
ClearAll["Global`*"]; pde = x*D[u[x, y], x] + y*D[u[x, y], y] ==n*u[x, y]; sol = AbsoluteTiming[TimeConstrained[DSolve[pde, u[x, y], {x, y}], 60*10]];
\[\left \{\left \{u(x,y)\to x^n c_1\left (\frac {y}{x}\right )\right \}\right \}\]

restart; pde :=x*diff(u(x,y),x)+y*diff(u(x,y),y)=n*u(x,y); cpu_time := timelimit(60*10,CodeTools[Usage](assign('sol',pdsolve(pde,u(x,y))),output='realtime'));
\[u \left ( x,y \right ) ={\it \_F1} \left ( {\frac {y}{x}} \right ) {x}^{n}\]
Hand solution
Solve \[ xu_{x}+yu_{y}=nu \] Using the Lagrange-charpit method\[ \frac {dx}{x}=\frac {dy}{y}=\frac {du}{nu}\] The first pair of equations gives \[ x=C_{1}y \] And \(\frac {dx}{x}=\frac {du}{nu}\) gives\begin {align*} \ln x & =\frac {1}{n}\ln u+C_{2}\\ x & =C_{2}u^{\frac {1}{n}}\\ x^{n} & =C_{3}u \end {align*}
Since \(C_{3}=G\left ( C_{1}\right ) \) then \(\frac {x^{n}}{u}=G\left ( \frac {x}{y}\right ) \) or \(u=x^{n}G^{-1}\left ( \frac {x}{y}\right ) \). Let \(G^{-1}=F\). Then the solution \[ u\left ( x,y\right ) =x^{n}F\left ( \frac {x}{y}\right ) \]
