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.
