TopicFirst order differential equations (integrating factor)

9 The variables \(x\) and \(y\) satisfy the differential equation $$( x + 1 ) ( 3 x + 1 ) \frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = y$$ and it is given that \(y = 1\) when \(x = 1\).
Solve the differential equation and find the exact value of \(y\) when \(x = 3\), giving your answer in a simplified form.
