Question

For this picture, is there a better way to determine object extra-focal distance is positive other than what I did at the top with LM (it's given on another page that image is erect, which would mean -f/x is positive since -f/x = LM and LM s positive).

My confusion is that it's all in negative space. Why would you not do -0.667 - (-0.25) = -41.67?

Explanation / Answer

distance can't be negative.

only if we apply them in formula, then sign convention is used to determine the respective position of the object and images.
