1. Well, you can use the distributive property, i.e., you can multiply the entire thing by an integer to get a multiple of the term. So:
2. The 18th customer will because 18 is a multiple of 6 as well as 9. You could also say 36th, 54th, or even further: just keep adding 18. Symbolic Representation:
∞
∑ (Something that says "this repeatedly adds up to 18")
n=1
3.
*Not sure about this one.

Take the homogeneous part and find the roots to the characteristic equation:
This means the characteristic solution is
.
Since the characteristic solution already contains both functions on the RHS of the ODE, you could try finding a solution via the method of undetermined coefficients of the form
. Finding the second derivative involves quite a few applications of the product rule, so I'll resort to a different method via variation of parameters.
With
and 
, you're looking for a particular solution of the form 
. The functions 
satisfy

is the Wronskian determinant of the two characteristic solutions.
So you have
So you end up with a solution
but since
is already accounted for in the characteristic solution, the particular solution is then
so that the general solution is
