the “||” usually represent absolute value. so assuming they do here the equation would be y+2=6, the next step is to combine like terms and subtract 2. You should end up with y=4. (If you are looking for both possibilities) you would also have to do the negative since there is a variable, so y+2=-6 and you would end up with y=-8 [answers: y=4 or y=-8]
