No, you don't need to find the mean of two values. You already have the mean, namely 36. What you need is the other number given that one number is 16 and the mean is 36.

You have the necessary formula, just plug in the given values and do the arithmetic:



Now solve for n. Hint: Multiply by 2 first.
