To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
Starting with the equation −5x + 2 = 67, we can begin by subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation:
-5x + 2 - 2 = 67 - 2
This simplifies to: -5x = 65
To further isolate x, we can divide both sides of the equation by -5:
(-5x)/(-5) = 65/(-5)
x = -65/5
This simplifies to:
x = -13
Therefore, x = -13.
