@papillon65153,
It basically means "the same as."
example:
I'd rather see a basketball game than a football game, as would my wife.
I'd is a contraction of "I would"
"as would my wife" means you could substitute the words "my wife" for "I" in the sentence, and treat it as though it read:
My wife would rather see a basketball game than a football game.
The original sentence could just as well have said:
My wife would rather see a basketball game than a football game, as would I.
