You have mixed the variables x and t.  It is not clear what you want.  Here are 
the likely fixes

eqn1=y'[x]==Sin[t]-2y[x];

soln1= DSolve[eqn1,y[x],x][[1,1]]

y[x] -> C[1]/E^(2*x) + Sin[t]/2

eqn1 /. {soln1,D[soln1,x]} // Simplify

True

eqn2 = y'[x]==Sin[x]-2y[x];

soln2 = DSolve[eqn2,y[x],x][[1,1]]

y[x] -> C[1]/E^(2*x) + (1/5)*(2*Sin[x] - Cos[x])

eqn2/. {soln2,D[soln2,x]} // Simplify

True
