Unsure of what you meant by typing "Y : "

I will assume that you want to solve the absolute value equation 

| (6/7)y -6 | = 3 for y.  One way of doing this is to simplify the equation by multiplying all 3 terms by (7/6):

| y - 7 | = 7/2.  This means that y (of which there are two separate  values) is 3 1/2 units from the "center," 7.

I'd suggest you draw a number line and mark scale divisions from -10 to +11.

Solution #1:  Put a solid dot at 7.  This is your center.  Move your pencil point 3 1/2 units to the right from there.  You'll end up at x = 10 1/2.

Solution #2:  Going back to that solid dot at x = 7, move your pencil point 3 1/2 units to the left.  You'll end up at x = 3 1/2.

The solution set is { 3 1/2, 10 1/2} .  Each of these two numbers will make the original absolute value equation true.

Alternatively, multiply all 3 terms of the original equation by 7:

7
| 6/7 y -6 | = 3*7

Then | 6y - 42 | = 21

Divide all terms by 6:  |y -7| = 21/6 = 3 1/2

Solve   |y -7| = 3 1/2.  There are 2 solutions:  { 3.5, 10.5}.
