Substituting this expression in the first equation yields (-4 - b)b = -60 = -4b - b2. Rearranging this equation to standard quadratic form yields b2 - 4b - 60 = 0, which can be factored into (b + 10)(b - 6) = 0, which is true when b is either -10 or +6. These latter two numbers are the answer to the problem.
