We can find the value of B from the equation:


(B)/(4)+1=-4

By following these steps:

1. subtract 1 from both sides of the equation


\begin{gathered} (B)/(4)+1-1=-4-1 \\ (B)/(4)=-5 \end{gathered}

2. multiply both sides by 4:


\begin{gathered} (B)/(4)=-5 \\ 4*(B)/(4)=-5*4 \\ B*(4)/(4)=-5*4 \\ B=-20 \end{gathered}

Then, the solution of the equations is B= -20
