Question

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?

Answer 1

Andrew sold 62 motorcycles this year.

Answer 2

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.
