SOlve the following inequality x+17/x-1 less than or equal to 1 with steps please
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "1st: Solve the EQUALITY:
\n" ); document.write( "(x+17)/(x-1) = 1
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x+17 = x-1
\n" ); document.write( "17 = -1
\n" ); document.write( "No solution for the equality.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "2nd: Solve the INEQUALITY:
\n" ); document.write( "(x+17)/(x-1) < 1
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a number line and put a point at x = 1
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "If x < 1 you get ?
\n" ); document.write( "Test x = 0; You get 17/-1 < 1, which is true.
\n" ); document.write( "So solutions where x < 1.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "If x > 1 you get ?
\n" ); document.write( "Test x = 2; You get 19/1 < 1, which is false.
\n" ); document.write( "So no solutions where x > 1.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Final Answer: x < 1
