Question

For any integers x and y, min(x, y) and max(x, y) denote the minimum and the maximum of x and y, respectively. For example, min (5, 2) = 2 and max(5, 2) = 5. For the integer w, what is the value of min(10, w) ?
(1) w = max(20, z) for some integer z.
(2) w = max(10, w)

Answer 1

∴ The value of min(10,w) = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  

1. w = max (20,z) for some integer z

    2. and w = max (10,w)

From the first equation we get that w= 20

and it also satisfies the second equation.

∴ The value of min(10,w) = min(10,20) ∵w=20

                                        = 10
