Answer:


\boxed{\sf All\: real\: numbers}

Explanation:


\star \:\sf Classify\: -4m+21\left(m-1\right)\le \:15m+2\left(m-1\right)\: \star

Apply Distribution law:


\sf -4m+21m-21\le \:15m+2\left(m-1\right)

Combine like terms:

**
\sf \hookrightarrow -4m+21m=17m


\longmapsto\sf 17m-21\le \:15m+2\left(m-1\right)


\sf 2(m-1)


\hookrightarrow 2m-2

-----------------------------------------


\longmapsto\sf 17m-21\le \:15m+2m-2

Combine like terms:

**
\sf 15m+2m=17m


\longmapsto\sf 17m-21\le \:17m-2

Add 21 from both sides:


\longmapsto\sf 17m-21+21\le \:17m-2+21


\longmapsto\sf 17m\le \:17m+19

Subtract 17m from both sides:


\longmapsto\sf 17m-17m\le \:17m+19-17m


\longmapsto\sf 0\le \:19

Therefore, the solution of the inequality: All real numbers
