Math Problem Statement

In the coordinate system shown in the figure, particle 1 with charge q1 = 13.5 μC is located at coordinates (x1,y1) = (-3, 0) m and particle 2 with charge q2 = -8.5 μC is located at coordinates (x2,y2) = (1, 0) m. Part (b) Solve for the numerical value of x0. x0 = ( x2 - x1 ) q1/( q1 - q2 ) + x1
