Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Question

Please show steps
A point charge q₁ = 3.95 nC is placed at the origin,
and a second point charge q2 = -2.90 nC is placed
on the x-axis at x = +21.0 cm. A third point
charge q3 = 2.10 nC is to be placed on the x-axis
between 9₁ and 92. (Take as zero the potential
energy of the three charges when they are infinitely
far apart.)
