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.

$205=2x+5\\205-5=2x\\200=2x\\2x=200$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{200}{2}\\x=100$

The old machine can print 100 copies per hour.
