How to solve for distance of object with a concave mirror?

[QUOTE="AngelLegs, post: 5453536, member: 591855"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] An object is placed a distance do in front of a concave mirror with a radius of curvature r = 6 cm. The image formed has a magnification of M = 4.3. Solve for the object's distance. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] M = -d[SUB]i[/SUB]/d[SUB]o[/SUB] (1/d[SUB]o[/SUB]) + (1/d[SUB]i[/SUB]) = 2/R = 1/f [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I've tried to rearrange the magnification equation and sub it into the spherical mirror equation in order to cancel out the d[SUB]i[/SUB]'s, so I can solve for d[SUB]o[/SUB] using radius and magnification, except I'm still not even entirely sure how you would manage to make this work. How would I rearrange these equations to solve for d[SUB]o[/SUB]? [/QUOTE]
