Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Square all three numbers. If the largest number squared is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two, then the numbers form a Pythagorean triple.

or

Since a Pythagorean triple is three positive integers a, b, and c such that (a^2)+(b^2)=(c^2), first take the sum of the squares of the two legs and make an estimate. For example, 3, 4, and 5 is a Pythagorean triple since 9+16=25

either one works

Answer:

The equation to describe the situation is $p-3=17.$

And, the total weight of the basket of apples was 20 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete so, the complete question is below:

Liang bought a basket of apples to make pies for her friends. The basket of apples weighed p pounds. Before she had time to make the pies, she ate 3 pounds of apples. There are 17 pounds of apples left to make pies. Write an equation to describe this situation. What was the total weight of the basket of apples?

Now, to write an equation to describe the situation. And to find the total weight of the basket of apples.

So, the basket of apples total weighed = $p\ pounds.$

Liang ate apples weighed = 3 pounds.

And the apples left for the pies weighed = 17 pounds.

Now, to write an equation describing the situation:

$p-3=17.$

Thus, the equation is $p-3=17.$

Now, to get the total weight of the basket of apples:

$p-3=17\\\\Adding\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\ we\ get:\\\\p=20$

Hence, the basket of apples total weighed = 20 pounds.

Therefore, the equation to describe the situation is $p-3=17.$

And, the total weight of the basket of apples was 20 pounds.
