1. **State the problem:** Solve the two-step equation $$2 + 5d = 67$$ for $d$.
2. **Recall the formula and rules:** To solve for $d$, we need to isolate $d$ on one side of the equation. This involves undoing addition/subtraction first, then undoing multiplication/division.
3. **Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides** to remove the constant term on the left:
$$2 + 5d - 2 = 67 - 2$$
which simplifies to
$$5d = 65$$
4. **Step 2: Divide both sides by 5** to solve for $d$:
$$\frac{5d}{5} = \frac{65}{5}$$
which simplifies to
$$d = 13$$
5. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{d = 13}$$
This means the value of $d$ that satisfies the equation is 13.
