    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.
