Where the article explains it

This is the same trick used to derive Wien’s displacement law: because u\,g(u) rises from zero, passes through a single interior maximum, and falls back to zero, the integral of the absolute value of its derivative over all u is exactly twice that maximum, with no need to evaluate the integral directly.

The passage around this formula

Write the normalized accelerated spectrum in terms of the dimensionless ratio u $\equiv$ c $\Omega$ /a , using the exact Bose-Einstein shape derived above. Carrying out the normalization integral, $\int_0^\infty$ $\Omega$ \,( $e^{2\pi c\Omega/a}$ -1)^{-1}\,d $\Omega$ = $a^2$ /(24 $c^2$ ) , using the standard result $\int_0^\infty$ x( $e^x$ -1)^{-1}dx= $\pi^2$ /6 , gives the scale-family form

A variable is a named place for a value. Its letter is a local label: x can mean position in one formula and a data point in another.
