Problem

Divya received the following problem:
A particle moves in a straight line with velocity v(t)=3t−1 meters per second, where t is time in seconds. At t=2, the particle's distance from the starting point was 8 meters in the positive direction. What is the particle's position at t=7 seconds?
Which expression should Divya use to solve the problem?
