Answer:
Let's represent the unknown number with the variable, x.
The word "difference" indicates subtraction and "times" indicates multiplication.
The "difference of 8 and six times a number" would be represented as: 8 - 6x
NOTE: The order of the terms is important (8- 6x is not the same as 6x - 8).
This expression 8 - 6x must be at least 68 to meet the requirement of being at least a "minimum".
The final inequality will be: 8 - 6x ≥ 68

To solve this problem, let us break this down one by one.
There are 20 possible
horses that could win in first place. Therefore this means that for each of
these possibilities, there are now 19 horses that could come in second. So
meaning there are 20 x 19 possible combinations for the first 2 places. <span>
20 x 19 = 380. And for each of those combinations, there are also
18 possible horses that could come in the third place. So </span>
20 x 19 x 18 = 6,840 <span>
<span>There are 6,840 possible horse combinations for the first 3
places in the race. </span></span>
