The old machine can print 100 copies per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Copies printed per hour by new machine = 205 copies

Let,

x represent the number of copies by old machine.

According to given statement;

Copies printed by new machine =  five more than twice the number of copies per hour of the old copy machine.

[tex]205=2x+5\\205-5=2x\\200=2x\\2x=200[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 2

[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{200}{2}\\x=100[/tex]

The old machine can print 100 copies per hour.
