To solve the equation −5x + 2 = 67, we can begin by isolating the variable x.
Subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation:
−5x + 2 - 2 = 67 - 2
Simplifying:
−5x = 65
Now, to solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by -5:
(−5x)/(-5) = 65/(-5)
Simplifying:
x = -13
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -13.
