1. The problem is to simplify the expression $$\left| \frac{1}{\sqrt{54}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{50}} \right|$$.
2. First, simplify the square roots in the denominators:
$$\sqrt{54} = \sqrt{9 \times 6} = 3\sqrt{6}$$
$$\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{25 \times 2} = 5\sqrt{2}$$
3. Substitute these back into the expression:
$$\left| \frac{1}{3\sqrt{6}} - \frac{1}{5\sqrt{2}} \right|$$
4. To subtract these fractions, find a common denominator:
The common denominator is $$15\sqrt{6}\sqrt{2} = 15\sqrt{12}$$.
5. Rewrite each fraction with the common denominator:
$$\frac{1}{3\sqrt{6}} = \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{15\sqrt{12}}$$
$$\frac{1}{5\sqrt{2}} = \frac{3\sqrt{6}}{15\sqrt{12}}$$
6. Now subtract the numerators:
$$\left| \frac{5\sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt{6}}{15\sqrt{12}} \right|$$
7. Simplify $$\sqrt{12}$$:
$$\sqrt{12} = \sqrt{4 \times 3} = 2\sqrt{3}$$
8. Substitute back:
$$\left| \frac{5\sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt{6}}{15 \times 2 \sqrt{3}} \right| = \left| \frac{5\sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt{6}}{30\sqrt{3}} \right|$$
9. This is the simplified form of the original expression.
Final answer:
$$\boxed{\left| \frac{5\sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt{6}}{30\sqrt{3}} \right|}$$
