To simplify the expression:

First, we can simplify the mixed numbers by converting them into improper fractions:

4 5/11 = (4 x 11 + 5) / 11 = 49/11

3 2/9 = (3 x 9 + 2) / 9 = 29/9

4 5/11 - 1 = 4 + 5/11 - 1 = 3 5/11 = (3 x 11 + 5) / 11 = 38/11

1 13/18 = (1 x 18 + 13) / 18 = 31/18

So, the expression becomes:

49/11 + x + 29/9 - 38/11 - 31/18 + x

Next, we can combine the like terms. The terms with x can be combined and the fractional terms can be converted into a common denominator.

Combining the terms with x, we get:

49/11 + x - 38/11 + x + 29/9 - 31/18

Combining the fractional terms, we can find a common denominator of 198:

49/11 + x - 76/22 + x + 58/18 - 31/18

Simplifying, we get:

(4x+227)/66

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

(4x+227)/66
