If you travelled 3km away from home and then 3km back:
Total distance travelled would be 6km
Displacement would be 0km

Explanation:

This is because travelling away from home would give you +3km and then travelling back towards your home would be -3km, therefore when you add the distances together you get 0km.

Then total distance travelled is the total distance you have walked, regardless of the direction, therefore it is 3km + 3km = 6km.
