my system is as follows. x"+ x'+ x + y'=0; y"+ y'+ y + x'=0; Thanks in advance for the help.

Here is an approach, with symbolic way:
syms x1(t) x2(t)
eq1=diff(x1,2)+diff(x1,1)+x1+diff(x2,1)==0;
eq2=diff(x2,2)+diff(x2,1)+x2+diff(x1,1)==0;
solx=dsolve([eq1,eq2]);
x1(t)=solx.x1
x2(t)=solx.x2

Thank you Birdman. i am currently trying to solve my system. will come back soon.
Birdman can you please tell me how to solve this using ode45 or any other. Thanks in advance for the help.
I do not know how to use ode45. Maybe you should open a new question in forum.
