subtract the magnitudes
It tells us that the sizes of forces are equal and directions of forces are opposite.
Zero.
The forces cause the object to move in the direction of the net force. If there are two unbalanced forces in opposite directions, the object will go in the direction of the stronger force.

Zero
no net force
By the vector sum of the forces. When the forces act exactly in opposite directions, you subtract one force from the other. When they act at some other angle, the calculation is a bit more complicated.
subtract the magnitudes
Then you have a combined force that is smaller in magnitude than the larger of the two forces.
Tension forces are two forces acting on one object, moving in opposite directions (away from one another) to stretch the object. Compression forces are two forces acting on one object, moving in opposite directions (towards one another) to compress or deform the object.
It tells us that the sizes of forces are equal and directions of forces are opposite.

Zero.
In this case, you can simply subtract one force from the other.
