To solve the equation \(-5x + 2 = 67\), the correct order of steps is:
Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.
This gives you:
\(-5x = 67 - 2\)
Which simplifies to:
\(-5x = 65\)
Then, proceed with the next steps.
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by -5.
This would give you:
\(x = \frac{65}{-5}\)
Which simplifies to:
\(x = -13\)
So the first step is to subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.
