Study the scenario.
A wagon is moving while two horizontal forces are acting on it: 25 N to the right, and 5 N to the left.
Use the vector addition rule to compute the net force acting on the wagon.
20 N to the right
100 N to the right
5 N to the left
30 N to the left
can someone show me how to solve this?

25 - 5 = 20
yeah i dont know what to do. Where are all the teachers?
Did you bother to read what PsyDAG posted above?
He just solved it for you. You are moving 25 N to the right, and then you need to move 5 N to the left. Since you just moved 25 N to the right, you go 5 N to the left which means you take away from the 25 since you just moved in the opposite direction.
25 - 5 = 20. So your answer is A, or 20 N to the right.
25 - 5 = 20. So your answer is A, or 20 N to the right.
