If the resultant force involves both forces acting in the same direction, it would be

5555 "N"N + 80+80 "N"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.
