Answer:

The total displacement = 3cm toward

I.e -3cm from the starting point.

Explanation

  • we shall take right as + and left as
  • so every cm the object moves right it is denoted as +cm
  • every cm the object moves left it is denoted as cm

Procedure

  • -3+7-6-1
  • on solving this expression using a diagram we get
  • 3cm

We know 3cm is 3 cm towards left with taking the starting or the initial point as the reference point.
