To solve the equation \(-5x + 2 = 67\), we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.

\(-5x + 2 - 2 = 67 - 2\)

This simplifies to:

\(-5x = 65\)

Step 2: Divide both sides by -5.

\(\frac{-5x}{-5} = \frac{65}{-5}\)

This simplifies to:

\(x = -13\)

So the correct answers are:

Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides.
Step 2: Divide both sides by -5.

The solution for \(x\) is:

x = -13 (or "x is equal to negative 13").
