The solution you found should have been:

DSolve[y'[x]==y[x]/x+2x+1, y[x], x]

{{y[x] → x C[1] + x (2 x + Log[x])}}

In general, provided it doesn't encounter a knotty integral, Mathematica can solve any first order linear differential equation.

Now it's time for you to tackle some problems without any help from me whatsoever. So! To the problems...
