\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "h + g = 34
\n" ); document.write( "127h + 92g = 3723
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "92h + 92g = 92*34
\n" ); document.write( "127h + 92g = 3723
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"h\":
\n" ); document.write( "35h = 595
\n" ); document.write( "h = 17 (# of heavy equip. ops)
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "g = 34-17
\n" ); document.write( "g = 17 (# of general laborers)
