The average is found by adding the numbers and dividing by 2.
Since the average is 17, the total of the two numbers must equal 17 x 2 = 34.
One number is given as 11, so subtract 11 from 34:
34 - 11 = 23
The other number is 23.
Too check: add 11 and 23 and then divide by 2:
11 + 23 = 34
34/2 = 17.
The first step to solving this problem is Multiplying In(x-1).
