x<y
|x|>y
This is fairly simple. X is obviously a negative number, and can be as well, though the value of y isn't terribly important so long as it is a larger number than x.
It could be x= -91, y=-90, or it could be x= -2, y=3, as two examples.
The absolute value sign stipulation is a clue that the contents are probably a negative number
