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.

the least value out of the data shown is 5, maybe if you post a picture with it i could a little more.

step-by-step explanation:

is only a line? i think so

answer:

what is your question that you ask

step-by-step explanation:

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
