Answer :
The answer is 8(n-17)=30 because you are multiplying the difference which is grouped by the parentheses.
Answer:
8(N - 17) = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be N.
Now, the given phrase is "eight times the difference of a number and seventeen is thirty"
Difference means subtraction.
Hence, the difference of a number and seventeen can be written as N - 17
Now, times means multiplication.
Hence, eight times the difference of a number and seventeen can be written as 8(N - 17)
Finally, this expression should be equal to 30. Hence, we have
8(N - 17) = 30
2nd option is correct.
