Hi and welcome to the Math.SE. Questions sounding like "do this for me, please" are poorly received from other members. I you need help, help other users help you for example by explaining what you tried and where did you get stuck.

This is a linear PDE so
$$
u = u^h + u^p
$$
with
$$
u_t^h+u_x^h=-u^h\
u_t^p+u_x^p+u^p=e^{t+2x}
$$
Using the Characteristics method with $u^h$ we have
$$
begin{cases}
frac{dt}{dtau} = 1 & t(0) = 0 & t(tau) = tau\
frac{dx}{dtau} = 1 & x(0) = s & x(tau) = s+tau\
frac{du^h}{dtau} = -u^h & u^h(0) = phi(s) & -ln u^h(tau) = phi(s)+tau
end{cases}
$$
or
$$
u^h(t,x) = e^{-t}psi(x-t)
$$
regarding the particular we have that $u^p(t,x) = frac 14e^{t+2x}$ verifies the particular equation then
$$
u(t,x) = e^{-t}psi(x-t)+frac 14e^{t+2x}
$$
and for $t=0$ we have
$$
psi(x) + frac 14e^{2x}=0
$$
then $psi(x) = -frac 14 e^{2x}$ and finally
$$
u(t,x) = frac 14left(-e^{-t}e^{2(x-t)}+e^{t+2x}right)
$$

Yes, by using the method of characteristics, one can find the explicit expression for the solution :
$$u(t,x)=frac14left(e^{t+2x}-e^{-3t+2x} right)$$
The question is concise. The answer as well.

Yes, by using the method of characteristics, one can find the explicit expression for the solution :
$$u(t,x)=frac14left(e^{t+2x}-e^{-3t+2x} right)$$
The question is concise. The answer as well.
