Answer:

5,5,7,8,10

Explanation:

mode=5 so that would appear the most so start with 5,5

median=7 that would be the middle number so 7 would be next

when you add 5+5+7=17 now just choose any number to add to 17 and I choose 10 which makes 17+10=27.

mean=7 so that means the total has to be divided by how many numbers you have, which is 5. So the total divided by 5 should equal 7. Since have 27, the number divided by 5 to get 7 is 35. So, add to 27 to get 35 which would be 8.

27+8=35 that is your total. Now divide by 5 to get the mean of 7.
