Get the absolute value by itself first.

Explanation:

|6b - 2| + 10 = 44
Subtract 10 from both sides.
|6b - 2| = 34
Since 34 is positive, there are two solutions to the absolute value equation. These are the two solutions to the ordinary linear equations
6b - 2 = 34 and 6b - 2 = -34.
Solve these, and you will be done.
