(x-1)/2+1=(x+1)/4

 

\(\frac{x-1}{2} +1= \frac{x+1}{4}\)

 

\(\frac{2x-2+4}{4}=\frac{x+1}{4} \) 

 

\(2x+2=x+1\) 

 

\(x=-1\) 

 

\(Sample:\)

 

\(\frac{-1-1}{2} +1= \frac{-1+1}{4}\) 

 

\(0=0\)

I would prefer multiply by 4 on each side......:

\(\dfrac{x-1}{2}+1=\dfrac{x+1}{4}\\ 2(x-1) + 4 = x+ 1\\ 2x - 2 + 4 = x + 1\\ 2x + 2 = x + 1\\ 2x - x = 1-2\\ x = -1\)

I got the same answer as asinus did!! That means hopefully we are both correct! :)
