To solve the equation 5x + 2 = 62, we need to isolate the variable x.
Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:
5x + 2 - 2 = 62 - 2
5x = 60
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for x:
5x/5 = 60/5
x = 12
Therefore, the solution to the equation 5x + 2 = 62 is x = 12.
So, the correct answer is option B.
