Q:

w and X are whole numbers. w>50 and X<40 work out the smallest possible value of w-X

Accepted Solution

A:
Hello there, and thank you for posting your question here on brainly.

So, w > 50 and x < 40 can be any possible number, but w can only be larger than 50, and x can only be less than 40.

You need to find the largest number for w, and the largest number for x, so we can get the smallest number.

w can equal 51, and x can equal 39.

The smallest number possible is 12.

Hope this helped!! ☺♥
