Answer 2

I am not sure what steps they taught you or are telling you to use but look for the words "more than", "less than"

`Neil has 83 more baseball cards than Tom. Neil has 517 baseball cards.`

Focus on Neil has 83 `more` baseball cards `than` Tom. Neil has 517 baseball cards.

Tom = T
Neil = N

If there is a mention of "more than", add the number they gave you to the person they are comparing it to

Neil has more than Tom, add 83 to Tom

T+83 = N
