    We need to show that y = x / (x + c) is a solution of dy/dx = (y - y^2) / x. Then,

    dy/dx = ((x + c) * 1 - x * 1) / (x + c) ^2

    = (x + c - x) / (x + c) ^2

    = c / (x + c) ^2

    and

    (y - y^2) / x = (x / (x + c) - x^2 / (x + c) ^2) / x

    = (x (x + c) - x^2) / (x (x + c) ^2)

    = (x^2 + cx - x^2) / (x (x + c) ^2)

    = cx / (x (x + c) ^2)

    = c / (x + c) ^2

    which proves the equality.
