If I want to drag a box at a constant velocity across a table, and the force of friction is 150 N, how much force do I need to pull on the box with?​

To get a constant velocity across a table, you need the net force on the box to be zero. So you need to apply a force with the same magnitude of friction, but in the opposite direction. So, the answer is 150 N.
