The equation (3xy+y2) dx+(x2+3xy) dy=0(3xy + y^2)\,dx + (x^2 + 3xy)\,dy = 0 has an integrating factor that depends only on s=x+ys = x + y. Use it to solve the equation with y(1)=1y(1) = 1 for x,y>0x, y > 0. The solution curve crosses the line x+y=4x + y = 4 at a point with y>xy > x. Find the yy-coordinate of that point.
