dsolve([diff(x(t),t) = 8*x(t)+14*y(t), diff(y(t),t) = 7*x(t)+y(t), x(0) = 1, y(0) = 1],[x(t), y(t)], singsol=all)
 

\[ x \left (t \right ) = \frac {4 \,{\mathrm e}^{15 t}}{3}-\frac {{\mathrm e}^{-6 t}}{3} \] \[ y \left (t \right ) = \frac {2 \,{\mathrm e}^{15 t}}{3}+\frac {{\mathrm e}^{-6 t}}{3} \]
