Solve for x.

−5x+2=67

1 answer

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.
