Homework Statement
I have a homework question on electrostatic seesaws. My problem is the algebra.
Homework Equations
I have been following another example and any guidance to help me proceed would be great.
0= (2q Q)/(4πε_o r²)+(q Q)/(4πε_o r²)-m
0= (3q Q)/(4πε_o r²)-m
m=(3q Q)/(4πε_o r²)
I don't understand line 2. I don't understand how part of the equation has canceled out. I know there is a step missing so could anyone point me in the right direction.
