Solving for variable 'b'.

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

Add '-0.6b' to each side of the equation.
-4.8 + 0.2b + -0.6b = 0.6b + -0.6b

Combine like terms: 0.2b + -0.6b = -0.4b
-4.8 + -0.4b = 0.6b + -0.6b

Combine like terms: 0.6b + -0.6b = 0.0
-4.8 + -0.4b = 0.0

Add '4.8' to each side of the equation.
-4.8 + 4.8 + -0.4b = 0.0 + 4.8

Combine like terms: -4.8 + 4.8 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.4b = 0.0 + 4.8
-0.4b = 0.0 + 4.8

Combine like terms: 0.0 + 4.8 = 4.8
-0.4b = 4.8

Divide each side by '-0.4'.
b = -12

Simplifying
b = -12
