Nevermind, I figured it out.
I didn't realize that if I put in another variable into the equation 'x = distance from q_1' that it would end up cancelling out during the simplification process.
The answer for me would be:
x = s/1 + sqrt(q_2/q_1)
See I understand that the distance from q_2 would be equal to (total separation 's' - distance from q_2), I just don't know how to represent that with only being able to use the variable 's' representing the total separation.
Homework Statement
Two particles with positive charges q_1 and q_2 are separated by a distance s.
Along the line connecting the two charges, at what distance from the charge q_1 is the total electric field from the two charges zero?
