Physics homework. Can't understand last problem. Please help!?

An electric charge q1 (-6e) is located at the origin. A second electric charge q2 (+2e) is located a distance "d" from the origin. In terms of "d", what is the distance "x" from q1 where the net electric potential is zero? Assume for this problem that x<d. I imagine you need to use V = kq/r.

    You are correct. Using the kq/r formula for Voltage will give you the answer. Just plug in the values and you can figure this out. Good job.
