Let y(x)y(x) be the unique solution of the differential equation

dydx=log⁡eyx,where x>0 and y>0,\frac{dy}{dx} = \log_e \frac{y}{x}, \quad \text{where } x > 0 \text{ and } y > 0,

with the initial condition y(1)=2018y(1) = 2018.

How many positive real numbers xx satisfy the equation y(x)=2000y(x) = 2000?
