Three particles are placed in the xy plane. A 30-g particle is located at (3, 4) m, and a 40-g particle is located at (-2, -2) m. Where must a 20-g particle be placed so that the center of mass of the three-particle system is at the origin?
 a. (-3, -1) m
  b. (+1, +3) m
  c. (+3, -1) m
  d. (-1, -3) m
  e. (-0.5, -2) m
