Step 4: Plug the equilibrium expressions into the equation for K and solve for x.

Because K₁ <10-5, the method of successive approximations is worth a try:

Remember, when K is on the borderline value of ≈10-5, it's a good habit to check and see if x < 5% of the
initial concentration of the original molecule.
