\begin{align*} x^{\prime }+p x&=q \end{align*}

✓ Maple. Time used: 0.001 (sec). Leaf size: 17

ode:=diff(x(t),t)+p*x(t) = q; 
dsolve(ode,x(t), singsol=all);
 

\[ x = \frac {q}{p}+{\mathrm e}^{-p t} c_1 \]

✓ Mathematica. Time used: 0.026 (sec). Leaf size: 29

ode=D[x[t],t]+p*x[t]==q; 
ic={}; 
DSolve[{ode,ic},x[t],t,IncludeSingularSolutions->True]
 

\begin{align*} x(t)&\to \frac {q}{p}+c_1 e^{-p t}\\ x(t)&\to \frac {q}{p} \end{align*}
