Hi Jakub,
the problem is the delayed assignment. Functions arguments are
substituted before the function code is evaluated. "x" does nowhere
appear in the function body and is therefore not substituted. On the
other hand, in a direct assignment, what is stored is:
11000/x + 2 (100 + x)
and the problem disappears.
