How to solve single non-linear equation?

Can anyone please help in solving the following equation:

d/dt[V.(X/1-X)]= An-Ax-Bx

where, V and X are function of t.

A,B, and n are constants

syms A B n X(t) V(t)
eqn = diff(V(t) .* X(t)/(1-X(t)), t) == A*n - A*X(t) - B*X(t)

eqn = 

SE = simplify(lhs(eqn) - rhs(eqn))

SE = 

collect(SE, X(t))

ans =

You do not have a single linear equation. You are taking the derivative of a multiple of function V and function X and that is something that cannot be resolved by itself.

Thanks for your answer.

Is there any other way out to solve this?

[Walter Roberson]

Please confirm that what you are taking the derivative of on the left side is the product of two unknown functions in t.

If so, then my understanding is the situation cannot be resolved -- in much the same way that you cannot solve a single equation in two variables except potentially down to finding a relationship between the variables.

In some cases it can be resolved. For example, if V(t) is known to be linear

syms A B n X(t) V(t) C2 C1 C0
V(t) = C1*t + C0

V(t) = 

eqn = diff(V(t) .* X(t)/(1-X(t)), t) == A*n - A*X(t) - B*X(t)

eqn = 

SE = simplify(lhs(eqn) - rhs(eqn))

SE = 

col = collect(SE, X(t))

col = 

sol = simplify(dsolve(col))

sol = 

... which is independent of time. Extending V(t) to quadratic gives you a situation dsolve() is not able to resolve.

Thank you so much Sir. It helped me to solve my problem.
