dsolve(diff(y(x),x$4)-3*diff(y(x),x$3)+3*diff(y(x),x$2)-diff(y(x),x)=6*x-20-120*x^2*exp(x),y(x), singsol=all)
 

\[ y \left (x \right ) = \left (-2 x^{5}+10 x^{4}-40 x^{3}+\left (c_{3} +120\right ) x^{2}+\left (c_{2} -2 c_{3} -240\right ) x +c_{1} -c_{2} +2 c_{3} +240\right ) {\mathrm e}^{x}-3 x^{2}+2 x +c_{4} \]
