1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $$\frac{2x+3}{4} = \frac{x-1}{2}$$ for $x$.
2. **Formula and rules:** To solve equations with fractions, multiply both sides by the least common denominator (LCD) to eliminate fractions.
3. **Find the LCD:** The denominators are 4 and 2, so the LCD is 4.
4. **Multiply both sides by 4:**
$$4 \times \frac{2x+3}{4} = 4 \times \frac{x-1}{2}$$
5. **Simplify:**
$$\cancel{4} \times \frac{2x+3}{\cancel{4}} = 2 \times (x-1)$$
$$2x + 3 = 2x - 2$$
6. **Subtract $2x$ from both sides:**
$$2x + 3 - 2x = 2x - 2 - 2x$$
$$3 = -2$$
7. **Analyze the result:** The statement $3 = -2$ is false, which means there is no solution.
**Final answer:** There is no solution to the equation.
