You given the equation but not the situation.
Perhaps you want to create a situation that requires that equation for the solution.
Here is an example:
The heavy crate weights 110 pounds more than 4 times the other.
THe lighter crate weighs 135 pounds.
What is the combined weight of both crates?
Solution:
THe lighter crate weighs 135 pounds.
The heavy crate weights 4 * 135 + 110 = 540 + 110 = 650 pounds.
Their combined weight is 135 +650 = 785 pounds.
Now you can determine if the forklift or hand truck is capable of lifting
them
Otherwise,
Please repost with the correct statement of the problem.
