If the resultant force involves both forces acting in the same direction, it would be
#55# #"N"# #+ 80# #"N"# #= color(red)(ulbar(|stackrel(" ")(" "135color(white)(l)"N"" ")|)" "# (adding two forces because both are in same direction)
And if they act in opposite directions:
#55# #"N"# #- 80# #"N"# #= color(blue)(ulbar(|stackrel(" ")(" "-25color(white)(l)"N"" ")|)" "# (subtracting because both are in opposite directions)
in whichever direction is taken to be negative.
