Lets define an event, E as tossing the biased coin twice. The possible outcomes with probabilities is as follows
P(h,h) = x^2
P(h,t) = x(1-x)
P(t,h) = x(1-x)
P(t,t) = (1-x)^2
The event h,t or t,h are equal likely, without any bias we can call that if Event h,t occurs it means head, t,h means tails but if h,h or t,t occurs we repeat the experiment.
