This doesn't look separable to me... But it is linear. \[\large\begin{align*} x^3y'+2y&=e^{1/x^2}\\\\ y'+2x^{-3}y&=x^{-3}e^{x^{-2}} \end{align*}\] Integrating factor: \[\begin{align*}\log\mu(x)&=\int2x^{-3}~dx\\\\ &=-x^{-2}\\\\ \mu(x)&=e^{-x^{-2}} \end{align*}\] Distribute the IF: \[\large\begin{align*} e^{-x^{-2}}y'+2x^{-3}e^{-x^{-2}}y&=x^{-3}\\\\ \frac{d}{dx}\left[e^{-x^{-2}}y\right]&=x^{-3}\\\\ e^{-x^{-2}}y&=\int x^{-3}~dx\\\\ e^{-x^{-2}}y&=-\frac{1}{2}x^{-2}+C\\\\ y&=-\frac{1}{2}x^{-2}e^{x^{-2}}+Ce^{x^{-2}} \end{align*}\]
