2.14\times 40=95-\frac{1}{2}x
Multiply both sides by 40, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{40}.
85.6=95-\frac{1}{2}x
Multiply 2.14 and 40 to get 85.6.
95-\frac{1}{2}x=85.6
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{1}{2}x=85.6-95
Subtract 95 from both sides.
-\frac{1}{2}x=-9.4
Subtract 95 from 85.6 to get -9.4.
x=-9.4\left(-2\right)
Multiply both sides by -2, the reciprocal of -\frac{1}{2}.
x=18.8
Multiply -9.4 and -2 to get 18.8.
