Answer:The Distance is 43 and displacement is 5km south

Explanation: To find the distance you add up all the numbers which was 43 and to fine the displacement subtract all the numbers and since all the other numbers were out expect for -5 which was south you would put 5 km south , if the number has a negative on it , it doesnt matter.
