Hey mate
Here is ur answer
When the object is moving in a straight line distance will be equal to displacement.
For example an object starts from rest and moves 20 m north.
Distance is the full path covered by the object so distance covered by object will be 20 m.
Displacement is the shortest path covered by the object.
Shortest path = Actual path,because object travelled in a straight line.
Displacement and Distance should have same magnitude because the object has not changed its direction.

THESE are the steps how distance can be equal to displacement.
