Question

Two point charges are arranged along the x axis as shown in the figure. At which of the following values of x is the electric potential equal to zero? Note: At infinity, the electric potential is zero.
A) +0.05m B) +0.29m C) +0.40m D) +0.54m E) +0.71m

So on the left side there is a +2.0 uC and on the right side there is a -5.0 uC and at the bottome right there is a 1.0 m.

Excuse the random line on the left side. It appeared after I inserted the diagram and should not be there.

The answer should be 0.71m but I'm not sure how to solve it.

Please let me know how to do it.

Thank you :)
