12b = 2g
then, g = 6b.
replace 6b in the second equation instead of g,
4*6b-3b = 63
24b - 3b = 63
21b = 63
b = 3
then, g = 6b = 6*3 = 18.
then g/b = 18/3 or 6.
then, g = 6b.
replace 6b in the second equation instead of g,
4*6b-3b = 63
24b - 3b = 63
21b = 63
b = 3
then, g = 6b = 6*3 = 18.
then g/b = 18/3 or 6.

We don't need to use both equations to answer the question.
All we need is the following: 12b = 2g
Divide both sides by 2 to get: 6b = g
Divide both sides by b to get: 6 = g/b
Is the question asked us to write our answer as a FRACTION, we can write: g/b = 6/1
Answer: 6/1
