Clara cycles at a constant speed of 8 meters per second from west to east along a path. She passes a road sign during her ride.
If t represents the number of seconds since Clara was 15 meters east of the road sign, write an expression
to represent Clara's distance east of the road sign. Distance Clara is East of the road sign = * meters.
