5x+2=67

1 answer

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

  1. Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:

    \[ 5x + 2 - 2 = 67 - 2 \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ 5x = 65 \]

  2. Next, divide both sides by 5:

    \[ x = \frac{65}{5} \]

    This gives:

    \[ x = 13 \]

So, the solution is \(x = 13\).
