The preceding sentence is:

For each floating-point type, a floating-point number (x) is defined by the following model:

	x = …

Doesn’t that make it clear what x is? Note that there are other references to “x” further on in the paragraph. Also, saying “all x that are model numbers” might suggest there are some x = … that are not model numbers. (I suppose “all model numbers x” might avoid that misunderstanding, but think it’s clear as is.).
