Differential equations — practice question

The variables $x$ and $\theta$ are related by the differential equation $\dfrac{dx}{d\theta} = \left(\dfrac{1}{5}x + 1\right)\sin^2 2\theta$, with $x = 5$ when $\theta = 0$.
(main)[7]

Find the solution of the differential equation and write $x$ as a function of $\theta$.
