is the multiplicative inverse of ;
4 is the multiplicative inverse of ;
Multiply the left and right sides of the equation by 4(A-B).
Simplify and then use additive inverse to arrange and combine any like terms of A and B.

Actually, you might want to solve either for A in terms of B, or B in terms of A. You can then better choose values of A or B to test. You will have a linear equation in the variables A and B, and you look for whole number values which work. You might also want any rational combination that works.

Notice carefully, .
