how to solve this differential equations with dsolve

 Accepted Answer

It is straightforward to incorporate the initial conditions in the dsolve call:
syms x(t) y(t)
Dx = diff(x);
Dy = diff(y);
[x,y] = dsolve(Dx + 2*x + y == 0, Dy + x + 2*y == 0, x(0) == 1, y(0) == 0)
x =
exp(-t)/2 + exp(-3*t)/2
y =
exp(-3*t)/2 - exp(-t)/2

Thanks this is what ı want .
best regards
when applying the initial conditions x(0)=1 y(0)=0 the resulting functions vary slightly, have a look to my answer.
when no initial conditions specified dsolve removes C1 and C2 by choosing arbitrary constants.
Thanks Mr. John BG but first part of answer already enough for me, ı dont need more details at this problem.But both of answers are correct and usefull thanks . Best regards.
it's ok, thanks for reading my answer

1.
solving the system
syms x(t) y(t)
z=dsolve(diff(x)==-y-2*y,diff(y)==-x-2*y)
z.x
=
C2*exp(-3*t) - 3*C1*exp(t)
z.y
=
C1*exp(t) + C2*exp(-3*t)
2.
applying initial conditions, A(t=0):
A=[1 -3;1 1]
b=[1;0]
s=A\b
=
0.250000000000000
-0.250000000000000
C1=s(1)
C1 =
0.250000000000000
C2=s(2)
C2 =
-0.250000000000000
3. Build real functions
fx=matlabFunction(z.x)
fx =
@(C1,C2,t)C1.*exp(t).*-3.0+C2.*exp(t.*-3.0)
fy=matlabFunction(z.y)
fy =
@(C1,C2,t)C1.*exp(t)+C2.*exp(t.*-3.0)
t=[10:.1:10]
fx(C1,C2,t)
=
-1.651984934610504e+04
fy(C1,C2,t)
=
5.506616448701680e+03
