The distance from the center of mass to Earth, times the mass of the Earth, must be equal to the distance of the center of mass to the Moon, times the mass of the Moon. (For more than 2 objects, the calculation is somewhat more complicated - reading about "center of mass" can give you an idea.)

Where is the centre of mass?
The center (centre) of mass is, informally, the average position of the points of mass in an extended system. It is a weighted average which takes into account the amount of mass in each point, as well as the position. If you hang a solid object up from the center of mass, it won't have a tendency to rotate. The Wikipedia article on "center of mass" explains how to calculate it.
