Answer 1

We need to find the amount of cards Tom has.

The number of cards Tom has is 434.

Let the number of baseball cards Tom has be $x$.

Neil has $83$ more baseball cards than Tom so

$x+83$ is the number of baseball cards that Neil has.

The number of baseball cards Neil has is $517$

So,

$x+83=517\\\Rightarrow x=517-83\\\Rightarrow x=434$

Hence, the number of baseball cards Tom has is 434.
