Final answer:
No specific answer can be provided for the main question due to typos and lack of clear context. However, the practice problem's solution is that the displacement is -15 meters, and the distance is 49 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question provided includes typos and does not present a clear mathematical problem. However, deciphering from the context, it seems to involve locating the point that represents a certain value, possibly the solution to a quadratic equation. If considering '-17 =' as an incomplete equation, none of the provided SEO keywords or reference information provide an adequate equation to solve for a coordinate point. The answer cannot be given without further clarification of the original question or more specific information. Despite this, I will address the similar practice problem regarding displacement and distance.
For the practice problem given, if a student walks 32 meters to the right and then 17 meters to the left on an axis where right to left is positive, the displacement is the change in position, which would be -32 m (for the rightward movement, opposite of the positive direction) plus 17 m (leftward movement, in the positive direction), giving a displacement of -15 m. However, the distance is the total ground covered, which is the sum of absolute values of the movements, or 32 m + 17 m = 49 m, regardless of direction.
