    -x * y = 192

    y = - 4x + 8

    -x (-4x + 8) = 192

    4x^2 - 8x = 192

    4x^2 - 8x - 192 = 0

    4 (x^2 - 2x - 48) = 0

    4 (x - 8) (x + 6) = 0

    x - 8 = 0

    x = 8 ... nope, it has to be negative

    x + 6 = 0

    x = - 6 <==

    y = - 4 (x) + 8

    y = - 4 (-6) + 8

    y = 24 + 8

    y = 32 <==

    so ur 2 numbers are - 6 and 32
