To solve the equation \(-5x + 2 = 67\), follow these steps:
-
Subtract 2 from both sides: \[ -5x + 2 - 2 = 67 - 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ -5x = 65 \]
-
Divide both sides by -5: \[ x = \frac{65}{-5} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = -13 \]
So, the solution is: \[ x = -13 \]
The correct response is x = -13.
