Based on the given mathematical statement, it can be rewritten into a mathematical equation to simplify and to be solved easily. The statement, "When one is subtracted from three-tenths of a number" corresponds to the equation, 3x/10 - 1, that is assuming the number is represented by the variable x. This is equal to one-fifth of the number. In other words,
3x/10 - 1 = x/5
x = 10

Answer:
x = 54
y = 47.5
Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines p and q are parallel and line r is a transversal intersecting these lines at two different points,
(x + 56)° = (2x + 2)° [corresponding angles]
2x - x = 56 - 2 
x = 54
Similarly, lines r and s are parallel lines and q is a transversal line intersecting these lines,
(y + 7)° + (3y - 17)°= 180° [Consecutive exterior angles]
4y - 10 = 180
4y = 190
y = 47.5
