I had been reading this paper by Dr.Starrett and I can very well recall 
somewhere in my freshman year about PDE's of this type.

Fx * a(x, y) + Fy* b(x, y) = c(x, y)

that can be solved by this method

dx                       dy                 ds
----          ===    ---------   ===   --------
a(x, y)                b(x, y)            c(x, y)

where s can be found by just integrating   (dx * c(x, y)) / a(x, y)

However, looking at this random example.

Fx( x* y) + Fy( x**2 * y) = 1

This should be solved by:

dx              dy                        df
-----   ===   --------          ===  --------
(x*y)           (x**2 * y)             1


just taking the first and the third part,    dx / (x * y) = df , we get f = 
ln(x) / y

However If I substitute it back in the equation,  fx = 1 / (x*y)  and fy = 
-ln(x) / (y**2) , it doesn't seem to add up to one. Am I missing something, 
really basic over here?
