The first one on the left.

The vertical bars mean we take the absolute value of that number.

Absolute value means distance from zero on a number line.

So the absolute value of any number

is the positive version of that number.

So for the one on the left we have |-100| > |50|.

Since absolute value represents the positive version

of a number, the absolute value of -100 will be 100.

Since |50| is already positive, it stays the same.

So we have 100 > 50 which is indeed a true statement.

If you solve the other ones, you will see that they are false.
