Consider the reaction:

A(g)⇌2B(g)
Find the equilibrium partial pressures of A and B for each of the different values of Kp. Assume that the initial partial pressure of B in each case is 1.0 atm and that the initial partial pressure of A is 0.0 atm. Make any appropriate simplifying assumptions.

A) Kp= 3.0
B)Kp= 1.2×10^−4
C) Kp= 1.0×10^5

I know this is posted with different numbers on this site and that it is a quadratic but I can't get the right answer. Please help.

If you're worked this several times with no luck I assume that means you are checking with a database. Why not show your work and let us find the error? It's much easier that way instead of us guessing what you have done right and what you have done wrong.
