You need to break the equation into 2 equations and solve them separately.
The following equation:
|6x|=|9x+1|
Breaks into two equations according to the definition for absolute value:
|9x+1| = 6x
and
|9x+1| = - 6x
Now, use the solver to solve:
|9x+1| = 6x

..........
x1 = -1/3
x2 = -1/15
The two solutions for the equation are -1/3 and -1/15.
You can also graph:
y = |6x| and y = |9x + 1|
and find the solution in the intercept:
