If I have eight numbers and i am tasked to decide which of the set of given numbers is the smallest comparing 2 numbers at a time, I will have 28 comparisons in all. Trying all combinations for the first number, you have 7. Trying all combinations for the second number nit including its comparison to the first number (because it will be redundant), you will have 6 comparisons an so on. Adding it all up, you have 7+6+5+4+3+2+1=28.

Dan is 8 years older than Fiona. Gavyn is 9 years younger than Fiona. If the total of their ages is 56, how old is the eldest of
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

If Fiona's age is x, Dan and Gavyn's ages respectively are x + 8 and x - 9. We can write:

x + x + 8 + x - 9 = 56

3x - 1 = 56

3x = 57

x = 19

The eldest is Dan (because x + 8 > x and x + 8 > x - 9). His age is x + 8 = 19 + 8 = 27.
