$c = 7$ $c=7$

$6 = 2 | 7 c - 70 | + 6$ $6=2abs(7c-70)+6$

$0 = 2 | 7 c - 70 |$ $0=2abs(7c-70)$

$0 = | 7 c - 70 |$ $0=abs(7c-70)$

Split into two equations

$0 = 7 c - 70$ $0=7c-70$ and $0 = - 1 (7 c - 70)$ $0=-1(7c-70)$

Solving the first one, we get:

$70 = 7 c$ $70=7c$

$c = 7$ $c=7$

Solving the second one, we get:

$0 = - 7 c + 70$ $0=-7c+70$

$7 c = 70$ $7c=70$

$c = 7$ $c=7$

So, our only solution is $c = 7$ $c=7$
