Using reduction of order method given that one solution is

\begin{align*} y&={\mathrm e}^{3 t} \end{align*}

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.003 (sec). Leaf size: 17

dsolve([diff(y(t),t$2)-5*diff(y(t),t)+6*y(t)=0,exp(3*t)],singsol=all)
 
\[ y = c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{3 t}+c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{2 t} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.013 (sec). Leaf size: 20

DSolve[D[y[t],{t,2}]-5*D[y[t],t]+6*y[t]==0,y[t],t,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
