Ben has x pence, but Bill has 2x (twice more)
Let the two required numbers be x and y, then x - y = 176, thus y = x - 176.
Let the product of the two numbers be represented by

For the product to be minimum,


Thus, y = 88 - 176 = -88
Therefore, the two numbers are 88 and -88.

13 - (-28) ÷ 4
13 - (-7)
The negatives would cancel so add 13 and 7 to get 20
