Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the expression, we'll handle step-by-step simplification:

1. Evaluate 400x2:x0.01 400x^2:\frac{x}{0.01} :
- Understand x0.01 \frac{x}{0.01} as multiplying x x by the reciprocal of 0.01 0.01 :
- Reciprocal of 0.01 0.01 is 100 100 ; thus, x0.01=x100=100x \frac{x}{0.01} = x \cdot 100 = 100x .
- Hence, the expression becomes 400x2÷100x 400x^2 \div 100x . - Simplifying 400x2÷100x=400100x2x=4x 400x^2 \div 100x = \frac{400}{100} \cdot \frac{x^2}{x} = 4x .

2. Simplify (18x)(3x:(1x9)) -(-18x)-(-\frac{3}{x}:(\frac{1}{x}\cdot9)) :
- Simplifying 3x:(1x9)=3x÷9x=3xx9=39=13 \frac{3}{x} : (\frac{1}{x} \cdot 9) = \frac{3}{x} \div \frac{9}{x} = \frac{3}{x} \cdot \frac{x}{9} = \frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3} .
- Therefore the expression becomes (18x)+13=18x+13 -(-18x) + \frac{1}{3} = 18x + \frac{1}{3} (negative negative becomes positive).

3. Combine results from step 1 and step 2:
- The full expression simplifies to 4x(18x+13) 4x - (18x + \frac{1}{3}) .
- Expanding further, =4x18x13=14x13 = 4x - 18x - \frac{1}{3} = -14x - \frac{1}{3} .

Therefore, the solution to the expression is 22x13 22x - \frac{1}{3} .

Answer

22x13 22x-\frac{1}{3}
