An object with balanced forces acting on it is still. An object with unbalanced forces acting on them moves at an non constant velocity. It is possible for an object to have balanced forces acting on it and yet move in a vacuum.
The parallelogram law states that when two concurrent forces F1 &F2 acting on a body are represented by two adjacent sides of a parallelogram the diagonal passing through their point of concurrency represents the resultant force R in magnitude and direction

Well, honey, the similarity between balanced and unbalanced forces is that they both involve pushing and pulling on an object. The difference is that balanced forces cancel each other out, keeping the object at rest or moving at a constant speed, while unbalanced forces cause acceleration or deceleration. It's like comparing a calm day at the beach to a chaotic rollercoaster ride - both involve motion, but one is a lot more chill than the other.
