when there is the two bars are around the -7 it means the absolute value. So the absolute value of -7 is 7 because 7 is the value. So 7<-3 is false because 7 is greater than -3 not less than.

False.
The vertical bars represent "absolute value."
|x| = x (when x is positive or zero)
|x| = -x (when x is negative)
The absolute value of -7 is 7. So...
|-7| < -3
7 < -3
... is not true.
