When the forces acting on an object have equal strength and act in opposite directions, they are balanced. These forces cancel out one another, and the motion of the object they are acting on remains unchanged. When the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, they do not cancel out one another.

Tug-of-war is a great example of balanced and unbalanced forces. Gravity pulls objects down. In Zoe's DIY, the force of gravity pulled the egg down into the cup when the other objects were forced out of the way.
To determine if the forces acting upon an object are balanced or unbalanced, an analysis must first be conducted to determine what forces are acting upon the object and in what direction. If two individual forces are of equal magnitude and opposite direction, then the forces are said to be balanced.
If the forces on an object are balanced, the net force is zero. If the forces are unbalanced forces, the effects don't cancel each other. Any time the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, the net force is not zero, and the motion of the object changes.
Answer the brackets are correct because we already know about which guy we are talking about and the information in the brackets is additional and therefore not needed.
