Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
separate with like terms
the first fraction can be left alone as it can't be simplified any further
the second fraction can be written as w⁹ ÷ w¹ , when the bases are the same and division is involved subtract the powers: 9 - 1 = 8, so it's simplified to w⁸
the third fraction can be written as m⁵ ÷ m⁹, subtract the powers: 5 - 9 = -4, so it's simplified to m⁻⁴
putting it together:
5x + 2(x + 1) ≤ 23
Distribute the 2.
5x + 2x + 2 ≤ 23
Combine like terms.
7x + 2 ≤ 23
Subtract 2 from both sides.
7x ≤ 21
Divide both sides by 7
x ≤ 3
