Answer:

Pushing from the same direction: 343 N

Pushing from opposite directions: 171 N

Step-by-step explanation:

If Dani and Gina are pushing in the same direction then you would add up the forces they are pushing with since the force is applied in the same direction.

257N+86N=343 N

If Dani and Gina are pushing in the opposite direction then you would subtract the forces they are pushing with because they are going against each other.

257N-86N=171 N

Hope this helped! :)
