Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Delfino is pushing the box with a force of 10 N to the left. Aleida is pushing the box with a force of 15 N to the right.

Aleida is exerting more force. He is the more stronger individual.

Net force is given by :

F = -10+15

F = 5 N

So, the net force is 5 N and it is in right direction.
