Solving Coupled Differential Equation

Hello,
I want to solve following differential equation:
(x^2+x+1) / (x^2+x) dx/dt + dy/dt = 1 with constraint x+x^2 = y+y^2
It involves derivatives of both x and y. How can I solve this in Matlab.
Thanks guys in advance!! Cheers

syms y(t) x(t)
a=(x^2+x+1)/(x^2+x);
%%because of the constraint, x+x^2=y+y^2 ----> x+y=-1. Take the derivative wrt t and you will
%%find x_dot=-y_dot;
eqns=a*diff(x,t)-diff(x,t)==1;
X=dsolve(eqns,t)
Try this.

Thanks for the quick answer!! really appreciate that.
How do you arrived at x+x^2=y+y^2 ----> x+y=-1 ? Shouldn't it be dx/dt*(1+2x)=dy/dt*(1+2y)?
x-y=(y-x)*(y+x),
Division of x-y to y-x brings -1 and therefore;
x+y=-1
x = 42;
y = 42;
L = x + x.^2;
R = y + y.^2;
isequal(L, R) % true
isequal(x+y, -1) % false
Be careful about dividing by 0.
Well, my bad. Let's say if we cannot express dx explicitly in terms of dy, then how to solve this type of equations. For. e.g.,
(x^2+x+1) / (x^2+x) dx/dt + dy/dt = 1 with constraint x^2+y^2+xy=10 (or any constant)
Differentiate the algebraic equation with respect to t.
The differential equation and the differentiated algebraic equation then give you a linear system of equations in the unknowns dx/dt and dy/dt. Solve it explicitly for dx/dt and dy/dt and then use one of the standard ODE integrators.
Or write your system as
M*[dx/dt ; dy/dt] = f(t,x,y)
with
M = [(x^2+x+1)/(x^2+x) 1 ; 0 0]
f = [1 ; x^2+y^2+x*y-10]
and use ODE15S with the state-dependent mass matrix option.
Best wishes

Why should x+x^2 = y+y^2 imply x+y = -1 only? x = y also works, in which case
eqns=a*diff(x,t)-diff(x,t)==1;
becomes
eqns=a*diff(x,t)+diff(x,t)==1;
in which case
Warning: Unable to find explicit solution. Returning implicit solution instead.
X = solve(2*x - 2*atanh(2*x + 1) == C2 + t, x)
Not as convenient as the first solution since t is given as a function of x rather than vice versa, but still a solution.
