Let $\"+g+\"$ = number of green beads
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%2F5+=+6+%2F+%28+6+%2B+g+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%2A%28+6+%2B+g+%29+=+6%2A5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+12+%2B+2g+=+30+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2g+=+18+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+g+=+9+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "There are 9 green beads
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
