Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
A convex lens forms a real image of the same size as the object, on a screen from the lens. Find the focal length of the lens and its power.
For a lens, and . The object distance is negative; a convex lens has a positive , a concave lens a negative . A real image has a positive and a negative .

Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. The object. , so .
Step 2. The focal length. , so .
Step 3. The power. .
Answer: and .
Check. Object and image are both at : the object-to-screen distance is .
