Your right; and I see how the dependent/independent has to be handled
for state-space representation. A state space reduction to a non-
singular matrix is required to make A nonsingular in the ABCD
representation.

As a note:
In more complicated systems you need additional terms on the left.
m1*t1''' + n1*t1'' + p1*t1'
m2*t2''' + n2*t2'' + p2*t2'
