Answer

$i = -18~cm$

Work Step by Step

We can find $i$: $\frac{n_1}{p}+\frac{n_2}{i} = \frac{n_2-n_1}{r}$ $\frac{n_2}{i} = \frac{n_2-n_1}{r} - \frac{n_1}{p}$ $\frac{1.5}{i} = \frac{1.5-1.0}{30~cm} - \frac{1.0}{10~cm}$ $\frac{1.5}{i} = \frac{0.5}{30~cm} - \frac{3.0}{30~cm}$ $\frac{1.5}{i} = -\frac{2.5}{30~cm}$ $\frac{i}{1.5} = -\frac{30~cm}{2.5}$ $i = -18~cm$
