As you have two searched functions a[t] and b[t], you should have 2 differential equations.
Let us say you have a equation2 you just forgotten to give us.
Then the correct way to obtain a symbolic solution is :


DSolve[{a'[t] + b'[t] == (-p1)*a[t] - p2*b[t], 
   equation2, a[0] == a0, 
   b[0] == b0}, {a[t], b[t]}, 
  t]

Objet : [mg56585] is this solvable?

a'[t] + b'[t]== -p1 a[t] - p2 b[t]

where {a[0]== a0, b[0]== b0}

is this solvable in Mathematica? If so, how will I go about doing so?

let's assume a[0]== a0, and b[0]==b0

if symbolic solution isn't possible, then intial conditions of
a[0]== 1, and b[0]==0.5 couild be used...(or any other numbers for that
matter)

thanks in advance.
