Answer:

6N to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

The net force is the sum of both forces, the force that the girl applies, and the force that her brother applies.

So, the net force is:

Net force = 2N + 4N = 6N

So, the net force is 6N to the right because the girl and her brother apply a force to the right
