To simplify the expression \( ||10 - (-5)|| \):
1. First, resolve the expression inside the absolute value bars.
- Inside the parentheses, \( -(-5) \) simplifies to \( 5 \).
- So the expression inside the absolute value bars becomes \( 10 - 5 \).
2. Next, perform the subtraction:
- \( 10 - 5 = 5 \).
3. Finally, apply the absolute value function, \( ||5|| \):
- The absolute value of \( 5 \) is simply \( 5 \).
Therefore, the simplified result is \( 5 \).
