Equal and opposite forces do cancel out.
Are you talking about action and reaction forces??

Cosider this :
If you are pushing a table , you are applying a force on the table . and this is the action force.

Action force acts on the table and not upon you.

The table exerts an equal but opposite force on you . This force is called reaction force .
The reaction force acts on you and not upon the table .

You have to consider the force acting on one and the same object to determine the motion of the object. Hence, these forces do not cancel out.

Equal and opposite forces do not cancel out since they act on different bodies
