The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable.
We have then:
x: weight of each pallet with cement
We then have the following equation:
16x = 4856
Clearing x we have:
x = (4856) / (16)
x = 303.5 punds
Answer:
each pallet with cement weigh:
x = 303.5 punds

Solve the given equation

AlexFokin [52]

Eliminate the fractions by multiplying by least common multiple.
4,9,12 all go into 36 evenly. Multiply entire equation by 36.

36/4 = 9
36/9 = 4
36/12 = 3

New equation looks like:
$9(w-1) +4(w+1) = -3(w+1) \\ \\ 9w -9 +4w +4 = -3w -3 \\ \\ 9w +4w+3w = -3 +9 -4 \\ \\ 16w = 2 \\ \\ w = \frac{2}{16} = \frac{1}{8}$
