To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

We can do this by first subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation:

-5x + 2 - 2 = 67 - 2

This simplifies to:

-5x = 65

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by -5:

(-5x) / -5 = 65 / -5

This simplifies to:

x = -13

Therefore, the solution for x is x = -13.
