To solve for \( d \), we first need to identify the relationship between the variables given. If the variables \( l \), \( w \), \( h \), and \( x \) are related through a specific formula or equation, please provide that context.

However, if we assume that \( d \) is derived from the dimensions (length \( l \), width \( w \), height \( h \)), we may be looking for a common measurement, like the diagonal of a rectangular prism formed by these dimensions.

The diagonal \( d \) of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:

\[
d = \sqrt{l^2 + w^2 + h^2}
\]

Substituting the given values:

- \( l = 30\, \text{in} \)
- \( w = 20\, \text{in} \)
- \( h = 18\, \text{in} \)

Calculating \( d \):

1. Calculate \( l^2 \):
\[
l^2 = 30^2 = 900
\]

2. Calculate \( w^2 \):
\[
w^2 = 20^2 = 400
\]

3. Calculate \( h^2 \):
\[
h^2 = 18^2 = 324
\]

4. Now, sum these values:
\[
l^2 + w^2 + h^2 = 900 + 400 + 324 = 1624
\]

5. Finally, take the square root to find \( d \):
\[
d = \sqrt{1624} \approx 40.31
\]

Rounding to the nearest tenth, we find:
\[
d \approx 40.3\, \text{in}
\]

Thus, the rounded value of \( d \) is **40.3 in**.
