I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. My professor posted a video showing generally how to solve the problem (without using specific numbers) and I followed all the steps.
Here is the problem and answer:
Here is my work:
we assume q3 is positive and in microcoulomb so it attracts the q4 so it's direction is towards negitive X axis.
In the final step clockwise angle is taken as negitive because X component of net force on q4 is along negative X axis
