There's nothing at all wrong with this, assuming it's what you meant
to type :-), and it might even correspond perfectly to the
mathematical notation used in some textbook. But I would argue that
this example is pretty simple, and that if there were a lot of xs and
x's and x''s then the chance of making a typing mistake is greater, I
believe, than if you had used x, xscaled, and xtransformed. (On the
other hand this is all pretty subjective... :-)
OMG! "Mathematical" and "subjective" in the same sentence! ;-)
Personally, I find that if I've got more than 2 of the thing, I number
them rather than attach multiple primes... but that's just me.
