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.

Therefore, the two numbers are 88 and -88.
To solve this you can make a proportion where the matching sides will correspond to each other. It should look something like this:
Now you must cross multiply
10*42 = 15*x
420= 15x
To isolate x divide 15 to both sides
420/15 = 15x/15
28 = x
Hope this helped!
