An object is being acted upon by three forces and moves with a constant velocity. One force is 60N along the x-axis, the second force is 75N along a direction making a counterclockwise angle of 150 degrees with the x-axis. What is the direction of the third force, measured counterclockwise from the x-axis?

Add those two forces: (break them into x,y components). The third force will be equal and opposite to the sum of the first two.
