➷ You may have forgotten to add the options

However, you can collect like terms

In other words, collect the 'x' values and collect the numbers

5x + 18x = 23x

-12 - 4 = -16

Thus, your answer would be 23x - 16.

Any further questions, let me know.

From the homogeneous part of the ODE, we can get two fundamental solutions. The characteristic equation is

$3r^2-6r+6=0\iff r^2-2r+2=0$

which has roots at $r=1\pm i$ . This admits the two fundamental solutions

$y_1=e^x\cos x$
$y_2=e^x\sin x$

The particular solution is easiest to obtain via variation of parameters. We're looking for a solution of the form

$y_p=u_1y_1+u_2y_2$

where

$u_1=-\displaystyle\frac13\int\frac{y_2e^x\sec x}{W(y_1,y_2)}\,\mathrm dx$
$u_2=\displaystyle\frac13\int\frac{y_1e^x\sec x}{W(y_1,y_2)}\,\mathrm dx$

and $W(y_1,y_2)$ is the Wronskian of the fundamental solutions. We have

$W(e^x\cos x,e^x\sin x)=\begin{vmatrix}e^x\cos x&e^x\sin x\\e^x(\cos x-\sin x)&e^x(\cos x+\sin x)\end{vmatrix}=e^{2x}$

and so

$u_1=-\displaystyle\frac13\int\frac{e^{2x}\sin x\sec x}{e^{2x}}\,\mathrm dx=-\int\tan x\,\mathrm dx$
$u_1=\dfrac13\ln|\cos x|$

$u_2=\displaystyle\frac13\int\frac{e^{2x}\cos x\sec x}{e^{2x}}\,\mathrm dx=\int\mathrm dx$
$u_2=\dfrac13x$

Therefore the particular solution is

$y_p=\dfrac13e^x\cos x\ln|\cos x|+\dfrac13xe^x\sin x$

so that the general solution to the ODE is

$y=C_1e^x\cos x+C_2e^x\sin x+\dfrac13e^x\cos x\ln|\cos x|+\dfrac13xe^x\sin x$
