\[ \boxed {36 y^{\prime \prime \prime \prime }-12 y^{\prime \prime \prime }-11 y^{\prime \prime }+2 y^{\prime }+y=0} \]

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.0 (sec). Leaf size: 24

dsolve(36*diff(y(x),x$4)-12*diff(y(x),x$3)-11*diff(y(x),x$2)+2*diff(y(x),x)+y(x)=0,y(x), singsol=all)
 

\[ y \left (x \right ) = \left (\left (c_{4} x +c_{3} \right ) {\mathrm e}^{\frac {5 x}{6}}+c_{2} x +c_{1} \right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {x}{3}} \]
