Answer

$12.0cm$

Work Step by Step

We can find the separation between the lenses as follows: $d_{i1}=\frac{(f)(d_{\circ 1})}{d_{\circ 1}-f}$ $\implies d_{i1}=6cm$ and $d_{\circ 2}=x-6.0cm$ $d_{i2}=\frac{d_{\circ 1}d_{\circ 2}}{d_{i1}}$ $d_{i2}=\frac{(12cm)(d_{\circ 2})}{6cm}=2d_{\circ 2}$ Now $\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1.50}{x-6.0cm}$ $1.50f=x-6.0cm$ This simplifies to: $x=12.0cm$
