0 it is zero becuase you would eventually get to (w-x)(x-x)(y-x) the key here being (x-x) which would equal 0 since the product of 0 and anything is still 0 the answer is....yup

assuming that every letter apart from x is anything other than zero it wouldn't work unless all letters were zero.
e.g if a is 5, 5-0 = 5 and 0-0=0
