\[ \boxed {x^{\prime \prime }+x^{\prime }-2 x=12 \,{\mathrm e}^{-t}-6 \,{\mathrm e}^{t}} \]

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.0 (sec). Leaf size: 30

dsolve(diff(x(t),t$2)+diff(x(t),t)-2*x(t)=12*exp(-t)-6*exp(t),x(t), singsol=all)
 

\[ x \left (t \right ) = c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{-2 t}+c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{t}-6 \,{\mathrm e}^{-t}-2 t \,{\mathrm e}^{t}+\frac {2 \,{\mathrm e}^{t}}{3} \]

Solution by Mathematica
