Substitution Suggested by the Equation
Example 1
The quantity (2x - y) appears twice in the equation. Let
$z = 2x - y$
$dz = 2~dx - dy$
$dy = 2~dx - dz$
Substitute,
$(z + 1)~dx - 3z(2~dx - dz) = 0$
then continue solving.
The Determination of Integrating Factor
From the differential equation
$M ~ dx + N ~ dy = 0$
If $\dfrac{1}{N}\left( \dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y} - \dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x} \right) = f(x)$, a function of x alone, then $u = e^{\int f(x)~dx}$ is the integrating factor.
If $\dfrac{1}{M}\left( \dfrac{\partial M}{\partial y} - \dfrac{\partial N}{\partial x} \right) = f(y)$, a function of y alone, then $u = e^{-\int f(y)~dy}$ is the integrating factor.

The Inverse Laplace Transform
Definition
From $\mathcal{L} \left\{ f(t) \right\} = F(s)$, the value $f(t)$ is called the inverse Laplace transform of $F(s)$. In symbol,
$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{ F(s) \right\} = f(t)$
where $\mathcal{L}^{-1}$ is called the inverse Laplace transform operator.
