To solve the equation \(-5x + 2 = 67\), follow these steps in order:
Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides. \[ -5x + 2 - 2 = 67 - 2 \implies -5x = 65 \]
Step 2: Divide both sides by -5. \[ x = \frac{65}{-5} \implies x = -13 \]
So, the correct steps to solve for \(x\) are:
- Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides.
- Step 2: Divide by -5.
Now, regarding the possible answers for \(x\):
The correct answer is:
- \(x = -13\)
Select "x = -13" as your final answer.
