  1. The exercise:

  1. Apply Laplace:

Is it correct? Because I´m confused in 3 or 3s?

  1. Finally this:

enter image description here

In this part how to apply Decomposition Partial Fractions ? And how's continued with de System of Equations ? Because with the valors of the variables I know that I have to remplace and apply inverse Laplace

HELP PLEASE !

$$2y'+y=0 \\ y(0)=-3$$Apply Laplace 's Transform:$$2(sY(s)-y(0))+Y(s)=0$$$$2sY(s)-\color {red}{2y(0)}+Y(s)=0$$$$2sY(s)+6+Y(s)=0$$$$Y(s)(2s+1)=-6$$$$Y(s)=-\dfrac 6 {(2s+1)}$$You made some little mistakes. At point 2. The initial condition is multiply by $-2$. So that $-2y(0)=6$.

Apply inverse Laplace Transform:$$Y(s)=-\dfrac 3 {(s+1/2)} \implies y(t)=- 3 e^{-t/2}$$Since the inverse Laplace Transform for $\dfrac 1 {s+a}$ is $e^{-at}$

Since $$ {l}\{ y(t) \} = s \, y(s) - y(0)$$then \begin{align} a \, y'(t) + y(t) &= 0 \\ a( s y(s) - y(0)) + y(s) &= 0 \\ (a s + 1) \, y(s) &= a \, y(0) \\ y(s) &= \frac{a \, y(0)}{a s + 1} = \frac{y(0)}{s + \frac{1}{a}} \\ y(t) &= y(0) \, e^{-t/a}. \end{align}

Applying the condition and appropriate constant yields the result.
