|−8|>|−10|

|−9|<|−10|

|−29|<|−15|

|−14|>|−17|

Answer 1

|-9| < |-10|
it's comparing the ABSOLUTE VALUE,, not the number itself. so, |-9| (which is 9) is less than |-10| (which is 10).
put it like this:
|-9| < |-10|
to
9 < 10.
makes sense, doesn't it? good!

Answer 2

|−8|>|−10|

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake in my initial response. You are correct. The correct comparison is:
