.2(16-b)+b=4.8

Solution for .2(16-b)+b=4.8 equation:

Simplifying
0.2(16 + -1b) + b = 4.8
(16 * 0.2 + -1b * 0.2) + b = 4.8
(3.2 + -0.2b) + b = 4.8

Combine like terms: -0.2b + b = 0.8b
3.2 + 0.8b = 4.8

Solving
3.2 + 0.8b = 4.8

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3.2' to each side of the equation.
3.2 + -3.2 + 0.8b = 4.8 + -3.2

Combine like terms: 3.2 + -3.2 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.8b = 4.8 + -3.2
0.8b = 4.8 + -3.2

Combine like terms: 4.8 + -3.2 = 1.6
0.8b = 1.6

Divide each side by '0.8'.
b = 2

Simplifying
