here we have two vectors, with opposite orientation. Now we have to do the difference between such vectors. The resultant vector is a vector whose magnitude is \(300-100=...?\)

please continue @abi_carter

so it would be b? 200 N to the left?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

That's right! Since the vector whose the largest magnitude is directed to the left, then also the resultant vector is directed to the left
