Ok... Well based on what I had drawn out earlier, if the currents were in the same direction, it would be 0 = B1 - B2 in the center. Where B1 is the 5A current and B2 is the 3A current. Then I assume I would solve for distance (d) so it would look something like 0 = (4pi x 10^-7)(5A)/(2pi)(d)...

Thanks! Ok... so basically I have to guess at numbers till I find it?... that doesn't seem like a fun time :/

A long wire carrying a 5.0A current perpendicular to the xy-plane intersects the x-axis at x=-2.0 cm. A second, parallel wire carrying a 3.0A current intersects the x-axis at x=2.0 cm. At what point or points on the x-axis is the magnetic field zero, (a) if the currents are in the same direction...
