While your method of solving for y works here, it's much easier (and better in general) to use implicit differentiation: 2yy' - y' -3x^2 = 0 is very easy to solve for y'. Then use implicit differentiation again to get y'' and substitute for y' when needed. I'm not going to fill in the details; this looks like YET ANOTHER student posting multiple problems and trawling for free homework help.

Why don't you try to fill in details? We have y'=(3x^2)/2y-1). What is y in that equation? I guess y(x) could be what is in the answer above. My goal was to find solution(two solutions) where y'' is expressed in terms of x.
