Homework Statement

Find General Solution of the Following System

(2D+5)x - (2D+3)y = t

(D-2)x + (D+2)y = 0

Using the Quadratic Formula I get nothing so I am not sure what the complementary solution is.

After this what do I do to find the General Solution?

Start over: your "characteristic equation" is wrong, so far as I can make out. You really should type this stuff out; your writing is borderline unreadable.
