\frac{dy}{dx}= \frac{x^{2}-2y^{2}+xy}{x^{2}} = F(x,y)\ (let\ say)

F(\lambda x,\lambda y)= \frac{(\lambda x)^{2}-2(\lambda y)^{2}+(\lambda .\lambda )xy}{(\lambda x)^{2}} = \lambda ^{0}.F(x,y)............(i)
Hence it is a homogeneous eq

Now, to solve substitute y = vx
Differentiating on both sides wrt x
\frac{dy}{dx}= v +x\frac{dv}{dx}
                                 
Substitute this value in equation (i)

\\v+x\frac{dv}{dx}= 1-2v^{2}+v\\ x\frac{dv}{dx} = 1-2v^{2}\\ \frac{dv}{1-2v^{2}}=\frac{dx}{x}
 

1/2[\frac{dv}{(1/\sqrt{2})^{2}-v^{2}}] = \frac{dx}{x}

On integrating both sides, we get;

\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}\log (\frac{1/\sqrt{2}+v}{1/\sqrt{2}-v}) = \log x +C
after substituting the value of v= y/x

\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}\log (\frac{x+\sqrt{2}y}{x-\sqrt{2}y}) = \log \left | x \right | +C

This is the required solution
