There's no picture here, but to find the net force on anything you just calculate the vector sum of all of the forces acting on the particle. If the forces are both acting in the same direction, the net force would be 20 N. If the forces are acting in opposite directions, then it is 0 N. If they are acting in any other directions, you will need to use vector components to solve for the resultant net force vector. If you post the picture I can solve.
