Explanation:

Let's say right is positive and left is negative.

F₁ = -150 N

F₂ = 220 N

Fnet = F₁ + F₂

Fnet = -150 N + 220 N

Fnet = 70 N

The magnitude of Fnet is 70 N, and since it's positive, the direction is to the right.

And since Fnet isn't 0, the force is unbalanced and the motion is changing.
