00:00 Find the largest value
00:08 The unknown is necessarily positive, and the number is also positive
00:18 However, we don't know if A is positive or negative
00:28 Therefore we cannot know
00:34 The same thing happens here too
00:54 Negative times positive is always negative
01:00 This option is necessarily not the largest
01:05 Therefore we cannot know, and this is the solution to the question

Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we'll evaluate the expressions based on the condition 0<x0 < x:

  • If 300ax300ax is considered, the sign and magnitude depend heavily on aa. If aa is positive, 300ax300ax is large positive. If aa is negative, it's large negative.
  • x300a\frac{x}{300a} is affected by both xx and aa. If aa is positive, this expression shrinks, if aa is negative, the sign is inverted, and it becomes positive, but its magnitude determination needs aa.
  • 2x-2x results in a definite negative value because xx is positive.

Without knowing the sign or value of aa, we can't definitively compare or compute the sizes of the expressions relative to each other.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is: It is not possible to calculate.
