Well, it turns out potential is scalar, so you just add. Find where they add to zero.
I dont understand what you're trying to say when you're saying to add. Can you elaborate more?

Vtotal=V1+V2=kq1/x +kq2/x, you know distancex (1/2 of 1), and you know the two q.
when is potential zero> Set Vtotalt to zero, and solve. one distance x, the other 1-x.
You can do that.
Ok that makes much more sense. Thank you for your help!
