Determining equilibrium concentrations from initial conditions and equilibrium constant
The text


  4.0 = [x]2 so x = 0.85 [1.0 – x][2.0 – x] 


appears to be an error. The proper equation is:

$$4  = \frac{x^2}{(2-x)(1-x)}$$

The 0.85 is one of two roots of the quadratic equation you'll solve, using

$$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$$

after you simplify the first expression, above.

As for the rest of your question, please expand: What does


  the 3.00


mean?
