Physics question: initial velocity from known deceleration?

I'm probably going to feel really stupid after asking this, but when you know the deceleration of an object over a distance, how do you find the initial velocity of that object before it started decelerating? I.e. Say that an object is decelerating by 2m/s^2, and it decelerates over a distance of 12 meters.
