Answer:

25 N to the left

Explanation:

The net force is equal to the differences in magnitudes of the forces acting on it.

Take the left direction to be positive (+) and right direction to be negative (-).

Solving :

Net Force = Force (left) - Force (right)

Net Force = 10 + 20 - 5

Net Force = 30 - 5

Net Force = 25 N to the left
