1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $$\frac{2x+4}{3} = \frac{x-1}{2}$$ 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 3 and 2, so the LCD is 6.
4. **Multiply both sides by 6:**
$$6 \times \frac{2x+4}{3} = 6 \times \frac{x-1}{2}$$
5. **Simplify each side:**
$$\cancel{6} \times \frac{2x+4}{\cancel{3}} \times 2 = \cancel{6} \times \frac{x-1}{\cancel{2}} \times 3$$
which simplifies to
$$2 \times (2x+4) = 3 \times (x-1)$$
6. **Distribute:**
$$4x + 8 = 3x - 3$$
7. **Isolate $x$ terms on one side:**
$$4x - 3x = -3 - 8$$
8. **Simplify:**
$$x = -11$$
**Final answer:** $x = -11$
