The image contains the following problem:

In the equation \(\vec{F} = q\vec{v} \times \vec{B}\), given that \(q = 4\), \(\vec{v} = 4\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} + 8\hat{k}\), and \(\vec{F} = 4\hat{i} - 20\hat{j} + 24\hat{k}\), calculate the value of \(\vec{B}\) in unit vector notation if \(B_x = B_y\).

### Steps to solve the problem:

1. The equation \(\vec{F} = q\vec{v} \times \vec{B}\) is the vector cross product form of the Lorentz force. First, express the force equation:
   \[
   \vec{F} = q (\vec{v} \times \vec{B})
   \]
   Substituting \(q = 4\):
   \[
   \vec{F} = 4 (\vec{v} \times \vec{B})
   \]

2. Now, divide both sides of the equation by 4:
   \[
   \frac{\vec{F}}{4} = \vec{v} \times \vec{B}
   \]

3. The vectors involved are:
   \[
   \vec{v} = 4\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} + 8\hat{k}, \quad \vec{F} = 4\hat{i} - 20\hat{j} + 24\hat{k}
   \]

   Let \(\vec{B} = B_x\hat{i} + B_x\hat{j} + B_z\hat{k}\) (since \(B_x = B_y\)).

4. Perform the cross product \(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}\):
   \[
   \vec{v} \times \vec{B} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 4 & 6 & 8 \\ B_x & B_x & B_z \end{vmatrix}
   \]

5. Calculate the determinant:
   \[
   \vec{v} \times \vec{B} = \hat{i}[(6)(B_z) - (8)(B_x)] - \hat{j}[(4)(B_z) - (8)(B_x)] + \hat{k}[(4)(B_x) - (6)(B_x)]
   \]
   Simplifying:
   \[
   \vec{v} \times \vec{B} = \hat{i}(6B_z - 8B_x) - \hat{j}(4B_z - 8B_x) + \hat{k}(4B_x - 6B_x)
   \]
   \[
   \vec{v} \times \vec{B} = \hat{i}(6B_z - 8B_x) - \hat{j}(4B_z - 8B_x) + \hat{k}(-2B_x)
   \]

6. Now, equate \(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}\) to \(\frac{1}{4}\vec{F} = \hat{i} + -5\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}\):
   \[
   (6B_z - 8B_x)\hat{i} = 1\hat{i}
   \]
   \[
   -(4B_z - 8B_x)\hat{j} = -5\hat{j}
   \]
   \[
   -2B_x\hat{k} = 6\hat{k}
   \]

7. Solve these three equations:
   - From \(-2B_x = 6\), solve for \(B_x\):
     \[
     B_x = -3
     \]
   - Substituting \(B_x = -3\) into the first equation:
     \[
     6B_z - 8(-3) = 1 \implies 6B_z + 24 = 1 \implies 6B_z = -23 \implies B_z = -\frac{23}{6}
     \]
   - Substituting \(B_x = -3\) into the second equation:
     \[
     4B_z - 8(-3) = 5 \implies 4B_z + 24 = 5 \implies 4B_z = -19 \implies B_z = -\frac{19}{4}
     \]

Thus, the magnetic field vector \(\vec{B}\) in unit vector notation is:
\[
\vec{B} = -3\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} - \frac{19}{4}\hat{k}
\]
