Answer 1

The value of y is three less than the quantity two times the value of x.

Algebra has its own language, some of which is easier to translate.

is = equals (=)

less than = subtract (-3)

times = multiply (2x)

1st step

y =

2nd step

2x

3rd step

-3

y = 2x - 3

Answer 2

"is" means "equals" ( = ) so y = something

two times the value of "x" is "2x" and three less than this is "2x - 3"

So then y = 2x - 3
