xy'=y+7x^2\sin x

xy'-y=7x^2\sin x

\frac1xy'-\frac1{x^2}y=7\sin x

(\mathrm d)/(\mathrm dx)\left[\frac1xy\right]=7\sin x

\frac1xy=\displaystyle\int7\sin x\,\mathrm dx

\frac1xy=-7\cos x+C

y=-7x\cos x+Cx

With the initial value
y(4\pi)=0, we have


0=-28\pi+4\piC\implies C=7

so that the particular solution to the ODE is


y=-7x\cos x+7x
