Answer:

She made the mistake in step 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Natalia's mistake is that she added 2 to the 7 when she should have subtracted it.

x÷5 + 2 = 7

x÷5 + 2 -2 = 7 -2

x÷5 = 5

Then multiply both sided by 5 to get rid of the division on the left

x = 25

This gives us the answer to x.
