For the Briot-Bouquet differential equations of the form given in [1] $${{\mu}(z)+\frac {z{\mu}'(z)}{z\frac {f'(z)}{f(z)}\[\alpha{\mu}(z)+\beta]}=g(z)$$ we can reduce them to $${{\mu}(z)+F(z)\frac {v'(z)}{v(z)}=h(z)$$ where $$v(z)=\alpha{\mu}(z)+\beta,\;h(z)={\alpha}g(z)+\beta\;and\;F(z)=f(z)/f'(z)$$. In this paper we are going to give conditions in order that if u and v satisfy, respectively, the equations (1) $${{\mu}(z)+F(z)\frac {v'(z)}{v(z)}=h(z)$$, $${{\mu}(z)+G(z)\frac {v'(z)}{v(z)}=g(z)$$ with certain conditions on the functions F and G applying the concept of strong subordination $g\;\prec\;\prec\;h$ given in [2] by the author, implies that $v\;\prec\;{\mu},\;where\;\prec$ indicates subordination.
