          dx          
$$- 3 y{\left(x \right)} + \frac{d}{d x} y{\left(x \right)} = 6$$
-3*y + y' = 6
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$- 3 y{\left(x \right)} + \frac{d}{d x} y{\left(x \right)} = 6$$
This differential equation has the form:
y' + P(x)y = Q(x)

where
$$P{\left(x \right)} = -3$$
and
$$Q{\left(x \right)} = 6$$
and it is called linear inhomogeneous
differential first-order equation:
First of all, we should solve the correspondent linear homogeneous equation
y' + P(x)y = 0

with multiple variables
The equation is solved using following steps:
From y' + P(x)y = 0 you get

$$\frac{dy}{y} = - P{\left(x \right)} dx$$, if y is not equal to 0
$$\int \frac{1}{y}\, dy = - \int P{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$
$$\log{\left(\left|{y}\right| \right)} = - \int P{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$
Or,
$$\left|{y}\right| = e^{- \int P{\left(x \right)}\, dx}$$
Therefore,
$$y_{1} = e^{- \int P{\left(x \right)}\, dx}$$
$$y_{2} = - e^{- \int P{\left(x \right)}\, dx}$$
The expression indicates that it is necessary to find the integral:
$$\int P{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$
Because
$$P{\left(x \right)} = -3$$, then
$$\int P{\left(x \right)}\, dx = \int \left(-3\right)\, dx = - 3 x + Const$$
Detailed solution of the integral
So, solution of the homogeneous linear equation:
$$y_{1} = e^{C_{1} + 3 x}$$
$$y_{2} = - e^{C_{2} + 3 x}$$
that leads to the correspondent solution
for any constant C, not equal to zero:
$$y = C e^{3 x}$$
We get a solution for the correspondent homogeneous equation
Now we should solve the inhomogeneous equation
y' + P(x)y = Q(x)

Use variation of parameters method
Now, consider C a function of x

$$y = C{\left(x \right)} e^{3 x}$$
And apply it in the original equation.
Using the rules:
- for product differentiation;
- of composite functions derivative,
we find that
$$\frac{d}{d x} C{\left(x \right)} = Q{\left(x \right)} e^{\int P{\left(x \right)}\, dx}$$
Let use Q(x) and P(x) for this equation.
We get the first-order differential equation for C(x):
$$\frac{d}{d x} C{\left(x \right)} = 6 e^{- 3 x}$$
So,
$$C{\left(x \right)} = \int 6 e^{- 3 x}\, dx = Const - 2 e^{- 3 x}$$
Detailed solution of the integral
use C(x) at
$$y = C{\left(x \right)} e^{3 x}$$
and we get a definitive solution for y(x):
$$e^{3 x} \left(Const - 2 e^{- 3 x}\right)$$
The answer [src]
                3*x
y(x) = -2 + C1*e   
$$y{\left(x \right)} = C_{1} e^{3 x} - 2$$
The answer (#2) [src]
$$y\left(x\right)=\left(y\left(0\right)+2\right)\,e^{3\,x}-2$$
y = (y(0)+2)*E^(3*x)-2
