document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Let \"x\" = \"how many copies can the old machine produce\", i.e. the number under the question.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the new machine can produce 2x+5 copies, according to the condition.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You are given\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    2x + 5 = 205.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence,  2x = 205 - 5 = 200  and  x = 200/2 = 100.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  The old copy machine can produce 100 copies per hour.\r\n" );
