Question 192612
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">

No, you <b><i>don't</i></b> need to find the mean of two values.  You already have the mean, namely 36.  What you need is the <b><i>other number</i></b> 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:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ A = \frac{m+n}{2} \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ 36 = \frac{16 + n}{2}]


Now solve for <b><i>n</i></b>.  Hint:  Multiply by 2 first.
