have after integration
ln(y-4)=(1/3)x3+C
if when x=0 y=-7
have ln(-11)=C
and ln is not defined for 0 and negative values
update: see my comments and answer by Yefim
since it is known that y(0)= -7, know y<4
therefore ln|y-4| can be written ln(4-y)
so answer is ln(4-y)=(1/3)x3+ln11
check, when x=0 y= -7

if the variable in the ln function is allowed to take on negative values then absolute value must be applied to variable just as Yefim did. Note then that two functions are specified. In this case y1=11e^(x^3/3)+4 for y>4 and y2=4-11e^(x^3/3) for y<403/04/22
