Note that if 
, then 
, and so we can collapse the system of ODEs into a linear ODE:
which is a pretty standard linear ODE with constant coefficients. We have characteristic equation
so that the characteristic solution is
Now let's suppose the particular solution is
. Then
and so
Thus the general solution for
is
and you can find the solution
by simply differentiating .
