#(dy)/(dx)=1/x#

Let's write the equation in the form:

#-3x+3e^y=xy#

and differentiate term to term with respect to #x#:

#-3+3e^y(dy)/(dx) = y#

no solve for the derivative:

#(dy)/(dx)= (y+3)/(3e^y)#

From the initial equation we can derive:

#3e^y=xy+3x=x(y+3)#

and substituting this in the expression of the derivative we get:

#(dy)/(dx)= (y+3)/(3e^y)=(y+3)/(x(y+3))=1/x#
