To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
We can start by subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation:
-5x + 2 - 2 = 67 - 2
This simplifies to:
-5x = 65
Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by -5 to solve for x:
(-5x)/-5 = 65/-5
This simplifies to:
x = -13
Therefore, the solution for x is -13.
Solve for x.
−5x+2=67
