How do you evaluate: To evaluate an algebraic expression, you have to substitute a number for each variable and perform the arithmetic operations. In the example above, the variable x is equal to 6 since 6 + 6 = 12. If we know the value of our variables, we can replace the variables with their values and then evaluate the expression.
A = b = 12 cm

formula

<-- Answer
the complete question is
Find two numbers whose difference is 46 and whose product is a minimum
Let
x------->larger number
y-------> smaller number
P-------> product of the two numbers
we know that
-----> equation 1
-----> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
![P=x*[x-46]\\ P=x^{2} -46x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20P%3Dx%2A%5Bx-46%5D%5C%5C%20P%3Dx%5E%7B2%7D%20-46x%20)
using a graph tool
see the attached figure
Find the value of x for that the product P is a minimum
the vertex is the point 
that means, for 
the product is a minimum 
find the value of y

therefore
the answer is
the numbers are
and 
1546/12 = 128.3333333333333333333333333333333333333
