IN a couple of cases the anwser seems clear to me but maybe im just not getting it.

the following happens.

when I'm comparing the absolute value if -1 ___ 1 its pretty clear to me that the answer is =

but it tells me i am wrong. but in some case example 2 ___ -2 = is the right answer.

|3| ____ -9 is smaller than answer < yet this is not correct.
