Simplifying
We can identify that the differential equation has the form: $\frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)\cdot y(x) = Q(x)$, so we can classify it as a linear first order differential equation, where $P(x)=\frac{3}{x}$ and $Q(x)=\frac{1}{x^{2}}$. In order to solve the differential equation, the first step is to find the integrating factor $\mu(x)$
Compute the integral
The integral of the inverse of the lineal function is given by the following formula, $\displaystyle\int\frac{1}{x}dx=\ln(x)$
To find $\mu(x)$, we first need to calculate $\int P(x)dx$
Simplify $e^{3\ln\left|x\right|}$ by applying the properties of exponents and logarithms
So the integrating factor $\mu(x)$ is
