A truck driver is attempting to deliver some furniture. First, he travels 8 km East, and then he turns around and travels 3 km West. Finally, he turns again and travels 13 km to his destination. What is the drivers total displacement?

I'm assuming his destination is towards the east so the answer would be 18 km towards the east.
