To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
Let's solve the equation step by step:

−5x^2 = 67

First, divide both sides of the equation by -5 to get rid of the coefficient in front of x^2:
(-5x^2) / -5 = 67 / -5

This simplifies to:
x^2 = -67/5

Next, take the square root of both sides of the equation to solve for x:
√(x^2) = ±√(-67/5)

This becomes:
x = ±√(-67/5)

Since the square root of a negative number is not a real number, the equation has no real solutions.

Therefore, x does not equal any of the provided options.
