Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.015 (sec). Leaf size: 15

dsolve([diff(x(t),t$2)-3*diff(x(t),t)+2*x(t)=0,x(0) = 2, D(x)(0) = 6],x(t), singsol=all)
 

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

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.02 (sec). Leaf size: 17

DSolve[{x''[t]-3*x'[t]+2*x[t]==0,{x[0]==2,x'[0]==6}},x[t],t,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 

\[ x(t)\to 2 e^t \left (2 e^t-1\right ) \]
