To solve this, we should make the assumption. We know one of our functions is y1 = e^(2x). Perhaps we can find another solution by substituting our known function with an unknown function as a factor: y2 = v(x) * e^(2x). If you substitute this back into your equation, your new equation should be a new differential equation in v. It will also be open to a substitution to reduce its order because there should be no v terms alone. Apologies for the site interruption of services, it seems to have resolved but all too late to respond to any questions.
