Solution Steps

To evaluate the expression \(\||-28|-|-19||\), we need to follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the absolute value of -28.
  2. Calculate the absolute value of -19.
  3. Subtract the absolute value of -19 from the absolute value of -28.
  4. Take the absolute value of the result from step 3.
Step 1: Calculate Absolute Values

First, we calculate the absolute values: \[ |-28| = 28 \] \[ |-19| = 19 \]

Step 2: Subtract Absolute Values

Next, we subtract the absolute value of -19 from the absolute value of -28: \[ 28 - 19 = 9 \]

Step 3: Take Absolute Value of the Result

Finally, we take the absolute value of the result from the previous step: \[ |9| = 9 \]

Final Answer

The final result is \(\boxed{9}\).
