You can use packages nleqslv, BB, (and ktsolve) for solving systems of non linear equations.
See the taskviews Optimization and NumericalMathematics on CRAN.

But you will not succeed in your case.

In your equations replace the expression exp(b0+b1*4) / (1+ exp(b0+b1*4) ) with Z.
Then you have two linear equations:

120-5*Z=0
690-31*Z=0

The system is incompatible. You can’t solve this for Z.

So you need to rethink your equations.
