To solve the equation \(-5x + 2 = 67\), you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \(x\):
\[ -5x + 2 - 2 = 67 - 2 \] Which simplifies to: \[ -5x = 65 \]
Step 2: Divide both sides by -5 to solve for \(x\):
\[ x = \frac{65}{-5} \] Which simplifies to: \[ x = -13 \]
So, the correct order of the steps is:
Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides. Step 2: Divide by -5.
The final answer for \(x\) is: \[ x = -13 \]
