    Answer: He is 3.8 miles away from his house.

    Explanation:

    Distance the first trail took him away = (+) 4.5 miles

    (We will show it with positive sign as it increase the distance away from the house)

    Distance the second trail took him closer = (-) 2.4 miles

    (We will show it with negative sign as it decreases the distance)

    Distance the third trail took him far away = (+) 1.7 miles

    Now, total distance = 4.5-2.4+1.7

    = 3.8 miles

    ∴ He is 3.8 miles far his house.
