Solve 2nd order ordinary differential equations (Runge Kutta)

I have a second order differential equation which I need to solve, and plot the first 6 seconds of x(t). I wanted to use the Runge Kutta method but I'm struGgling to get my head around how to do it. Here's my equation:
d2xdt2=100*sin(8*pi*t)-(100*x)-2*dxdt
x(0) = 0
dxdt(0) = 0
I've tried using ode45 but I'm not sure how to define the function, ideally I want to use a manual method, ie recreate the Runge Kutta algorithm in MATLAB.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Look at the example
"Solve Nonstiff Equation"
under
on how to rewrite your equation and apply ODE45 to solve it.
