Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to guess that you want the net force.

These two forces are acting in opposite directions. Therefore the forces are subtracted in effect.

F = F1 - F2

F1 = 22N to the right

F2 = 13N to the left

F = 22 - 13 = 9 N to the right.

Specifying the direction is very important. Forces do have directions and you must specify what that is. Otherwise, the question should be marked incorrect.
