| Jan 22, 2021 at 9:59 | comment | added | DakkVader | Depends on the notation you use. Either it can be that you move $-2\hat{x}$ or you move $2\left(\hat{-x}\right)$. (If x-direction is the direction in which you move). $\hat{x}$ represents a unit vector in a direction. I.e it is a vector in direction $x$ of length 1. | |

Or anything that symbolises a distance travelled.It could also be a typo. We will never know. But I'm 100% certain that the equations are depicting speed and velocity, i.e presenting that they are two different things. | |
