Here are the step for solving this:
1. 3y + 5 > 23
-5 -5
3y/3 > 18/3
y > 6
In words what you are doing is getting y by itself on one side. Subtract the 5 to undo the adding of 5 first. Then, divide both sides by 3.
Answer: Mode
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The given data set is: 10, 10, 12, 13, 15
Mean is the average - find the sum of the data set and divide by the number of terms in the set: 
Mean = 12
Median is the middle term (when the data set is ordered from least to greatest).
Median = 12
Mode is the term that appears the most.
Mode = 10
Since you want to show that the prices are low, you would choose the lowest value. 10 is lower than 12, so the Mode is lower than either the Mean or the Median.
I would say that they didnt because if you plug anythin in that equation it wont be a solution......i think thats what it meant
