Simple ODE can't be solve by dsolve

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to solve the following differential equation:

dx2/dt = (-x2/0.19) + (x3/12)

Both x2 and x3 are functions of time t.

My code is the following one:

syms x2(t)
syms x3(t)
vgl = (diff(x2, t) == -(x2(t)/0.19) + (x3(t)/12));
bvw = (x2(0) == 0);
Sopl(t) = dsolve(vgl, bvw)

I get the following error: Attempt to execute SCRIPT dsolve as a function: C:\Users\Gebruiker\Desktop\dsolve.m

Error in qsfdqsf (line 5) Sopl(t) = dsolve(vgl, bvw)

What do I do wrong?

Probably you have a script named dsolve.m in your current directory and it is shadowing the function dsolve. Change the name of that script.

By those two properties, dsolve does not apply simplifications to produce simpler solutions therefore the results you have are more complete.

The result is expected because you solved one ODE for 2 unknown functions. So you got an expression for one unknown in terms of the other unknown.
