Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.003 (sec). Leaf size: 15

dsolve(diff(y(x),x$3)-4*diff(y(x),x$2)=0,y(x), singsol=all)
 
\[ y = c_{1} +c_{2} x +c_{3} {\mathrm e}^{4 x} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.028 (sec). Leaf size: 23

DSolve[D[y[x],{x,3}]-4*D[y[x],{x,2}]==0,y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 
\[ y(x)\to \frac {1}{16} c_1 e^{4 x}+c_3 x+c_2 \]
