Answer 1

To order the numbers from greatest to least, let's first evaluate the absolute values.

1. \( 20 \) is \( 20 \).
2. \( -22 \) is \( -22 \).
3. \( |−45| = 45 \).
4. \( |−49| = 49 \).

Now, we can compare the values:

• \( 49 \) (from \( |−49| \))
• \( 45 \) (from \( |−45| \))
• \( 20 \)
• \( -22 \)

Now, let's order them from greatest to least:

1. \( |−49| = 49 \)
2. \( |−45| = 45 \)
3. \( 20 \)
4. \( -22 \)

So the ordered list from greatest to least is:

\( |−49|, |−45|, 20, −22 \).
