OK, Mr. Mxyzptlk, the ball's in your court. PF is not a homework service for students who are not engaged in/have too little time to spend on their studies.

If you have a specific question about what is holding up your progress, we will be glad to give you a hint.
 
Can you sketch the approximate deflected shape? Can you calculate the reactions? Can you draw the bending moment and shear force diagrams?
