Hello!
We have the difference between 30 and x(our unknown value) is equal to 17; so we just simply set it up that way. Always think of x or any variable(like in your question they use p, it can be anything u want, it’s simply a representation of an unknown value we are trying to find)as your unknown and what operation they are implying as in this case it’s subtraction as they want the difference between 30 and x.
So the answer is a. 30-p=17
Hope this helped and any questions please just ask. Thank you!

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: There were 525 pine trees.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Total trees = 1250
Percentage of oak trees = 32%
Percentage of birch trees = 26%
Since remaining trees are pine trees.
Percentage of pine trees = 100% - 32% - 26%
=42%
The number of pine trees = 42% of 1250
= 0.42 ×1250
= 525
Hence, there were 525 pine trees.
