Answer:

B= 16

b/4 - -1 =5 is the same as b/4 + 1 = 5

b/4 + 1 = 5

- 1 both sides

b/4 = 4

x 4 both sides

b=16

16/4 - -1 =5

4 + 1 = 5

- - Means add

+ + Means add

- + Means take away or minus

Hope this helps!

(b)/(4) - ( - 1) = 5 \\ \\ (b)/(4) + 1 = 5 \\ \\ (b)/(4) = 5 - 1 \\ \\ (b)/(4) = 4 \\ \\ b = (4)/(4) \\ \\ b = 1.

The value of b is 1 .
