For a given group presentation of a group(finitely presented), I want to check whether it is residually solvable or not. Is there any good way to do it?

Actually, I'm curious whether the finitely presented group $G = < x_i, 1\leq i \leq m | w_i x_i w_i^{-1}w_i^{-1}x_{i+1}, 1\leq i \leq n-1 > $, where $w_i=x_j^{\pm 1}$ for some $j$.
