Answer:

Forces acting on an object can be balanced when two individual forces of the same magnitude are pushing on the object, if the two forces are in opposite directions, then the forces are balanced.

Explanation:

For example if you place a book on a table the table pushes up on the book with the same amount force as the force of gravity pulling the book down.
