Im guessing you would like to get B by itself.

First you would divide both sides by 4. The four would cancel itself out with B and It would multiply -83 into -332

So your answer would be -332 = B

-83*4 = (B/4)4

-332 = B

Hi!

We need to isolate b on one side.

Multiply by 4 on both sides.

-83 * 4 = b/4 * 4

-332 = b

The answer is b = -332

To check your answer, put in the value of b.

-83 = -332/4

-83 = -83

This equation is correct.

Hope this helps! :)
