Answer:

C. -6, -5, 2, 5

Explanation:

A couple things to remember:

1. Negative numbers are always less than positive values.

2. If a number is negative, the greater the absolute value is, the less the number itself is. For example, -100 is less than -10, and -57 is less than -50.

Now, using these rules, we can put the numbers in order.

The numbers given are: 5, -5, -6, 2.

We know that 2 is less than 5, and that negative numbers are less than positive numbers. So, using this, we can order the numbers in two ways:

1. -5, -6, 2, 5

2. -6, -5, 2, 5

We also know that if a number is negative, the greater the absolute value is, the less the number itself is. Therefore, we know that -6 is less than -5. So, the correct order is -6, -5, 2, 5.

Hope this helps!
