Maple. Time used: 0.100 (sec). Leaf size: 15
ode:=diff(y(t),t)+2*y(t) = 4*t; 
ic:=[y(0) = 1]; 
dsolve([ode,op(ic)],y(t),method='laplace');
 
\[ y = 2 \,{\mathrm e}^{-2 t}-1+2 t \]

y = Function("y") 
ode = Eq(-4*t + 2*y(t) + Derivative(y(t), t),0) 
ics = {y(0): 1} 
dsolve(ode,func=y(t),ics=ics)
 
\[ y{\left (t \right )} = 2 t - 1 + 2 e^{- 2 t} \]
