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
