Since there is nothing on the left side of the equation besides the absolute value, you have to take 6m out of the absolute value and create 2 separate equations. These 2 equation will be 6m = 42 and 6m = -42.

You solve the equations normally:
6m = 42     6m = -42     (inverse to get m by itself, do on both sides)
/6      /6      /6       /6

  m = 7        m = -7


The answer is a solution set:
[7, -7]
