Answer 1

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

1. Subtract 2 from both sides: \[ -5x + 2 - 2 = 67 - 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ -5x = 65 \]

2. 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.
