Answer:

-12, -3, 5, 9

Explanation:

ok. So the numbers are 5, -3, -12, and 9.

In these numbers, there are 2 negatives. They are -12 and -3.

In negatives, the bigger the number is, the number is smaller.

So we first put

-12, -3 as our 2 first. Then the other ones are 5 and 9.

and you obviously know that 5 is less than 9. try it out. 9-5 =4 which is positive

So then you put 5, 9

And our full answer is

-12, -3, 5, 9
