Last year andrew bates sold 5 less than twice the number of motorcycles as this year. if andrew sold 67 motorcycles last year, how many did he sell this year?

If that was an equation, it would be 2y-5=67 (y meaning motorcycles sold this year). so first subtract 67 by 5 to get 62 and then divide 62 by 2. 31 is the answer.

If you need an equation, it would be y=2x+8, y would be how long it grew, x being weeks.if you need how long he was asleep, it would be 4 weeks if he started with no beard, the equation would be x=8÷2if he did have a beard before hand, the equation would be 2w+x=8
