Homework Statement

Hello could someone please help me on how to work this question out I have attached a photo so you can see the question. The equation i think you use is the equation of equilibrium. thanks if someone could please help me! you would be my life saver!

equation of equilibrium

The Attempt at a Solution

i don't know where to start!
