Slope-deflection eqn
3 spans must be considered in this case: AB, BC & CD

⎝L⎠
M AB = 0.1667 EI θ B
M BA = 0.333EI θ B
M BC = 0.5 EI θ B + 0.25 EI θ C − 80
M CB = 0.5 EI θ C + 0.25 EI θ B + 80
M CD = 0.333EI θ C
M DC = 0.1667 EI θ C

Equilibrium eqn
The remaining 2 eqm eqn come from moment equlibrium at
joints B & C, we have:

M BA + M BC = 0

M CB + M CD = 0

Solving for these 8 eqn, we get:

0.833EIθ B + 0.25EIθ C = 80

0.833EIθ C + 0.25EIθ B = −80
