To solve the equation \(-5x + 2 = 67\), the steps are as follows:
Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.
This gives:
\(-5x + 2 - 2 = 67 - 2\)
which simplifies to
\(-5x = 65\).
Step 2: Divide both sides by -5.
This gives:
\(\frac{-5x}{-5} = \frac{65}{-5}\)
which simplifies to
\(x = -13\).
So the correct order of the steps to solve the equation is:
Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides.
Step 2: Divide both sides by -5.
