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 [tex]x[/tex].

Neil has [tex]83[/tex] more baseball cards than Tom so

[tex]x+83[/tex] is the number of baseball cards that Neil has.

The number of baseball cards Neil has is [tex]517[/tex]
