b/3+1/8=19

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
b/3+1/8=19

Simplifying:
+ 0.333333333333b+1/8=19

Simplifying:
+ 0.333333333333b + 0.125=19

We move all terms containing b to the left and all other terms to the right.
+ 0.333333333333b=+19-0.125

We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+ 0.333333333333b=+18.875

We divide both sides of the equation by 0.333333333333 to get b.
b=56.625
