Answer 8

place each set of numbers. start with the smallest +9, -5, -8

Answer 9

it might help to think of this as addition and subtraction; think of a number that is larger than 9, 5, or 8 ; say 10

now we can view this as:

10 + 9 = 19
10 - 5 = 5
10 - 8 = 2

the order from smallest to largest of these will match the order of smallest to largest of your original question

Answer 10

2 < 5 < 19 ; just replace each of these with the value we modified "10" by to get them
-8 < -5 < 9

Answer 11

thanks
