\[ \boxed {y^{\prime \prime \prime }-12 y^{\prime }+16 y=32 x -8} \]

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.0 (sec). Leaf size: 31

dsolve(diff(y(x),x$3)-12*diff(y(x),x)+16*y(x)=32*x-8,y(x), singsol=all)
 

\[ y \left (x \right ) = \left (\left (2 x +1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{4 x}+\left (c_{3} x +c_{2} \right ) {\mathrm e}^{6 x}+c_{1} \right ) {\mathrm e}^{-4 x} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.004 (sec). Leaf size: 35

DSolve[y'''[x]-12*y'[x]+16*y[x]==32*x-8,y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 

\[ y(x)\to c_1 e^{-4 x}+c_2 e^{2 x}+x \left (2+c_3 e^{2 x}\right )+1 \]
