Assume the bigger number is x, since the difference is 18, another one should be x - 18
So the product will be x(x-18) = x^2 - 18x = (x-9)^2 - 81
Since the minimum of (x-9)^2 is 0, then the minimum of the product is -81
It’s the last option if you need an explanation just let me know!
The correct answer would be number 3 only because you are taking away when you have a negative number. SO u are taking away 3 gallons of gas.
Hope this helped!
