Answer

Verify (See below)

Work Step by Step

\[y'=F(ax+by+c)\] \[\frac{dy}{dx}=F(ax+by+c)\;\;\;\ldots (1)\] Substitute $\:V=ax+by+c$ _____(2) Differentiate (2) with respect to $x$ \[\frac{dV}{dx}=a+b\frac{dy}{dx}\] From (1) and (2) \[\frac{dV}{dx}=a+bF(V)\] Separating variables \[\frac{1}{bF(V)+a}dV=dx\] Hence change of variables $x,y$ to $x,V$ where $V=ax+by+c$ reduces (1) to the separable form \[\frac{1}{bF(V)+a}dV=dx\]
