dsolve(diff(y(x),x$2)-2*diff(y(x),x)+y(x)=exp(x),y(x), singsol=all)
 
\[ y \left (x \right ) = {\mathrm e}^{x} \left (c_{2} +c_{1} x +\frac {1}{2} x^{2}\right ) \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.017 (sec). Leaf size: 25

DSolve[D[y[x],{x,2}]-2*D[y[x],x]+y[x]==Exp[x],y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 
\[ y(x)\to \frac {1}{2} e^x \left (x^2+2 c_2 x+2 c_1\right ) \]
