I hope it helps you.

Answer 2

$x - \frac{(x - 1)}{3} = \frac{x + 1}{4} \\ \\ \frac{3x - (x - 1)}{3} = \frac{x + 1}{4} \\ \\ \frac{3x - x + 1}{3} = \frac{x + 1}{4} \\ \\ \frac{2x + 1}{3} = \frac{x + 1}{4} \\ \\ 4(2x + 1) = 3(x + 1) \\ 8x + 4 = 3x + 3 \\ 8x - 3x = 3 - 4 \\ 5x = - 1 \\ x = - \frac{1}{5}$
