To solve the given differential equation:

$(3x + 2)^2 \frac{d^2 y}{dx^2} + 5(3x + 2) \frac{dy}{dx} - 3y = x^2 + x + 1$

we can follow these steps:

1. Rewrite the Equation:

   Let's denote $u = 3x + 2$. Then $\frac{du}{dx} = 3$.

   The differential equation transforms into:

   $u^2 \frac{d^2 y}{dx^2} + 5u \frac{dy}{dx} - 3y = x^2 + x + 1$

2. Change of Variable:

   Using $u = 3x + 2$, we can express $\frac{dy}{dx}$ and $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$ in terms of $u$:

   $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy}{du} \cdot \frac{du}{dx} = 3 \frac{dy}{du}$ $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 3 \frac{d}{dx} \left(\frac{dy}{du}\right) = 3 \frac{d}{du} \left(3 \frac{dy}{du}\right) \cdot \frac{du}{dx} = 9 \frac{d^2 y}{du^2}$

3. Substitute and Simplify:

   Substituting these into the original equation:

   $u^2 \cdot 9 \frac{d^2 y}{du^2} + 5u \cdot 3 \frac{dy}{du} - 3y = x^2 + x + 1$

   Simplifying this gives:

   $9u^2 \frac{d^2 y}{du^2} + 15u \frac{dy}{du} - 3y = x^2 + x + 1$

4. Transform Right-Hand Side:

   Express the right-hand side $x^2 + x + 1$ in terms of $u$:

   Since $x = \frac{u - 2}{3}$:

   $x^2 = \left(\frac{u - 2}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{(u - 2)^2}{9} = \frac{u^2 - 4u + 4}{9}$ $x = \frac{u - 2}{3}$

   Therefore:

   $x^2 + x + 1 = \frac{u^2 - 4u + 4}{9} + \frac{u - 2}{3} + 1$

   Combining terms gives:

   $x^2 + x + 1 = \frac{u^2 - 4u + 4}{9} + \frac{3(u - 2)}{9} + 1$

   = \frac{u^2 - u + 7}{9}$$

5. Substitute Back:

   Substitute $x^2 + x + 1$ back into the differential equation:

   $9u^2 \frac{d^2 y}{du^2} + 15u \frac{dy}{du} - 3y = \frac{u^2 - u + 7}{9}$

6. Solve the Simplified Equation:

   Multiplying through by 9 to clear the fraction:

   $81u^2 \frac{d^2 y}{du^2} + 135u \frac{dy}{du} - 27y = u^2 - u + 7$

   Now, solve this second-order linear differential equation using standard techniques (such as the method of undetermined coefficients or variation of parameters).
