Answer: b = 1

Explanation:

Given

6.8 - 4.2b = 5.6b - 3

Add 4.2b on both sides

6.8 - 4.2b + 4.2b = 5.6b - 3 + 4.2b

6.8 = 9.8b - 3

Add 3 on both sides

6.8 + 3 = 9.8b - 3 + 3

9.8 = 9.8b

Divide 9.8 on both sides

9.8 / 9.8 = 9.8b / 9.8


\boxed{b=1}

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions
