Question

This is the answer I got for this problem, but It's saying I have the change in concentration wrong. I don't understand what the help prompt is saying here. 

I also have Ka = 2x/(0.015-x)  = 0.0003

Is that correct? It didn't fit on the snip I took, sorry.

Your Change in concentration for HA is incorrect. In this problem, you should use the
difference Initial and Equilibrium conditions given above to determine the Change in
concentration for each relevant species in the reaction. Remember that the Change in
concentration for each species will be directly proportional to the coefficient from the balanced
chemical reaction!
