This differential equation can be solved by making it a linear first-order differential equation in the form $x \frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x)$, where $P(x) = 2$ and $Q(x) = 5 - \frac{1}{x}$. The integrating factor is $e^{\int P(x)dx} = e^{\int 2dx} = e^{2\ln|x|} = x^2$. Multiplying both sides by $x^2$, we get $x^3 \frac{dy}{dx} + 2x^2y = 5x^2 - x$. Integrating both sides with respect to $x$, we find $y = \frac{5x^2 - 2x + C}{2x^2}$, where $C$ is the constant of integration.
