  <statement>
    <p>Explain how to find the general solution to each given ODE using
        exponential functions.</p>
    <p>For each exponential solution using complex numbers, also provide
        an alternate general solution using only real numbers.</p>

      <li>
        <me> 39 \, {x} + 3 \, {x''} = 18 \, {x'} </me>

  </statement>
  <answer>
    <me> {x} = c_{1} e^{\left(\left(2 i + 3\right) \, t\right)} + c_{2} e^{\left(-\left(2 i - 3\right) \, t\right)} </me>
    <me> {x} = {\left(d_{1} \cos\left(2 \, t\right) + d_{2} \sin\left(2 \, t\right)\right)} e^{\left(3 \, t\right)} </me>
    <me> {y} = k_{1} t e^{\left(-8 \, t\right)} + k_{2} e^{\left(-8 \, t\right)} </me>
