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: 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.
