Obtain the characteristic equation
Find the solutions to the cubic equation $r^{3}-r^{2}-2r=0$
Use a formula to find the general solution to the differential equation. Substituting each solution to the characteristic equation ($r$ values) into the formula $y=e^{rx}$ gives us a linearly independent solution. Then the general solution to the differential equation is the sum of all linearly independent solutions obtained
