Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To solve the equation -5x + 2 = 67, we need to isolate the variable x by performing the reverse operations in order.

1. Start by subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term:
-5x + 2 - 2 = 67 - 2
-5x = 65

2. Next, we want to isolate x by dividing both sides of the equation by -5:
-5x / -5 = 65 / -5
x = -13

So the correct answer is B) x = -13.

To solve the equation -5x + 2 = 67, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, let's get rid of the constant term by subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation:

-5x + 2 - 2 = 67 - 2

This simplifies to:

-5x = 65

Next, we need to isolate x by dividing both sides of the equation by -5:

-5x / -5 = 65 / -5

This simplifies to:

x = -13

Therefore, the correct answer is:

B) x = -13
