A hint to get started

Differentiate a substitution before replacing every dependent term

Substitute y=z−xy=z-x into (1/y)(dy/dx)−1=(x−2)/y(1/y)(dy/dx)-1=(x-2)/y to obtain an equation relating z and x. Solve it and hence give the general solution for y in terms of x.

Differentiate with respect to x, replace both y and its derivative, solve in z, then substitute back.
