Think about how the field is related to the distance, then have a go at finding the equilibrium point. Does the equilibrium point even exist for the charges you have? Have a go at the answer, I'll be back in 40 minutes to have a look at your answer and help you if you are having trouble, if nobody else has jumped in.
