1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A particle with charge +7.88 μC is placed at the fixed position x = 3.00 m in an electric field of uniform strength 300 N/C, directed in the positive x direction. Find the position on the x axis where the electric field strength of the resulting configuration is zero.
2. Relevant equations
E= K*Q / r^2
3. The attempt at a solution
I set up the equation with E = 0 but I'm not sure how you can solve it now for R since e = 0
