I can’t see the picture you mention — please upload it or describe the magnitudes and directions of the forces.

How to solve: choose a positive direction (e.g. right positive), then add the forces algebraically (right positive, left negative). Example: if one side pulls 200 N left and the other 10 N right, net = (+10) + (−200) = −190 N, i.e. 190 N to the left. If that matches your picture, the correct choice is −190 N.
