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!
[tex] \frac{b}{4} - ( - 1) = 5 \\ \\ \frac{b}{4} + 1 = 5 \\ \\ \frac{b}{4} = 5 - 1 \\ \\ \frac{b}{4} = 4 \\ \\ b = \frac{4}{4} \\ \\ b = 1.[/tex]
The value of b is 1 .
