$\frac{d}{dx} (x^2y^2+2y=x^3)$

$x^2 \cdot 2y \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} + y^2 \cdot 2x + 2 \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2$

$2x^2y \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} + 2 \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 - 2xy^2$

$\frac{dy}{dx}(2x^2y + 2) = 3x^2 - 2xy^2$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3x^2 - 2xy^2}{2x^2y + 2}$

thanks a lot man, i really appreciate the help.
