\boxed{x = -17}

✽ Simplify both sides of the equation.


(x+2)/(5)-(x+1)/(4)=1


(1)/(5)x + (2)/(5) + (-1)/(4) = 1 (Distribute)


((1)/(5)x + (-1)/(4) ) + ((2)/(5) + (-1)/(4)) = 1 (Combine Like Terms)


(-1)/(20)x + (3)/(20) = 1

✽ Subtract 3/20 from both sides.


(-1)/(20)x + (3)/(30) - (3)/(20) = 1 - (3)/(20)


(-1)/(20)x = (17)/(20)

✽ Multiply both sides by 20/(-1).


( (20)/(-1)) * ((-1)/(20)x) = ((20)/(-1)) * ((17)/(20))

Hence, x = -17
