Help with differential equation

Could you help me with this question?

4\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{y}{2} = e^x + 1 solve the equation when y =1 and x =0. I'm not sure how to start this. Some help would be very appreciated. thank you.

Considered looking at integrating factors?

You could use an integrating factor, but it may be easier to find the complementary function and particular integral and then combine them to find the general solution.
