\"g+=+6b\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"15g+%2B+24b+=+90744\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute \"g\" in 1st equation for \"g\"
\n" ); document.write( "in 2nd equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"15%2A6b+%2B+24b+=+90744\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"90b+%2B+24b+=+90744\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"114b+=+90744\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b+=+796\"
