$$ \begin{aligned} 3x+4 &= 3x-1&& \text{move the $ \color{blue}{ 3x } $ to the left side and $ \color{blue}{ 4 }$ to the right} \\[1 em]3x-3x &= -1-4&& \text{simplify left and right hand side} \\[1 em]3x-3x &= -5&& \\[1 em]0 &= -5&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 0 = -5 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
