Step 1 
Given differential equation is
y"3y+2y=4 , y(0)=0 , y(0)=1
Step 2
Laplace transform is denoted as
Y(s)=L(y(t))
According the Laplace formula, 
L(yn(t))=snY(s)sn1y(0)sn2y(0)yn1(0)
Let's take the Laplace on both sides, of given differential equation
L(y"3y+2y)=L(4)
s2Y(s)sy(0)y(0)3[sY(s)y(0)]+2Y(s)=4s
Y(s)(s23s+2)+y(0)(3s)y(0)=4s
By initial conditions, 
Y(s)(s23s+2)14s=0
Y(s)=4+sss23s+2
=4+ss(s2)(s1)
By partial fraction
Y(s)=2s5s1+3s2
Taking the inverse Laplace, 
y(t)=25et+32t
This is the required general solution.
