from sympy import * 
t = symbols("t") 
x = Function("x") 
ode = Eq(x(t) - sin(2*t) + Derivative(x(t), (t, 2)),0) 
ics = {x(0): 0, Subs(Derivative(x(t), t), t, 0): 0} 
dsolve(ode,func=x(t),ics=ics)
 

\[ x{\left (t \right )} = \frac {2 \sin {\left (t \right )}}{3} - \frac {\sin {\left (2 t \right )}}{3} \]
