You can put this solution on YOUR website!
to find the mean, you add all the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers, so %288%2B18%2B7%2B16%2B13%2B4%2BN%2BN%2B2%29%2F8 we are told that this is equal to 11.25
.
so %288%2B18%2B7%2B16%2B13%2B4%2BN%2BN%2B2%29%2F8=11.25
solve for N. Then find your second number (N+2) and multiply N and N+2 to find the product and your answer to the question.
