DSolve[x^2*(1 + a*x^3) + 2*x*y[x]*y'[x] == 6*y[x]^2,y[x],x]
Mathematica raw output
{{y[x] -> -1/2*Sqrt[x^2 + 4*a*x^5 + 4*x^6*C[1]]}, {y[x] -> Sqrt[x^2 + 4*a*x^5 + 4*x^6*C[1]]/2}}
Maple raw input
dsolve(2*x*y(x)*diff(y(x),x)+x^2*(a*x^3+1) = 6*y(x)^2, y(x))
Maple raw output
[y(x) = -1/2*(4*_C1*x^4+4*a*x^3+1)^(1/2)*x, y(x) = 1/2*(4*_C1*x^4+4*a*x^3+1)^(1/2)*x]
