Answer:

Not quite sure what you're meant to solve for, but my solution is below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of a value squared is the absolute value of that value, because squaring removes all negatives. Therefore:

$\sqrt{(y+2)^2}=c$

$\mid y+2\mid=c$

$\mid y\mid =c-2$

Hope this helps!
