If "one number" is negative and "another" is positive and the absolute values are the same, then "one number" will be less (because it is negative) than "another" (because it is positive).

All negative numbers are less than any positive numbers.

Absolute Inequality 3 plus 4 absolute value of 3x plus 7 is less than or equal to -89?

Do you mean 3 + 4|3x + 7| ≤ - 89? There is no solution to the inequality, since it is a false statement. A positive number cannot be equal or less than a negative number. On the left side, you are dealing only with positive numbers, since the absolute value is always positive, no matter what the values of x are.
