Algebra

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(2, 1) = 1

and

max(2,1) = 2

. If a, b, c and d are distinct positive integers, is

max(a, max(b, min(c, d))) = max(d, max(a, min(b, c)))

?

(1) b, c and d are factors of a
(2)

a – 2d = b + c
