Answer:

Friction

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the box is moving forwards, -7N would have to be friction, and 14N is the push force applied to the box.

-7N cannot be equal to gravity because the normal force and force of gravity must cancel out, so gravity would be -10N and normal force is 10N.
