Adding 5x to both sides of the equation, we get:
-5x + 5x + 2 = 67 + 5x
2 = 5x + 67
Subtracting 67 from both sides of the equation, we get:
2 - 67 = 5x + 67 - 67
-65 = 5x
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we get:
-65/5 = 5x/5
-13 = x
So the solution to the equation is x = -13.
Therefore, the correct response is B. x = -13.
