exporting file via mp3/single file

[bobblink454]

How would I export my mix from pro tools essential to a single playable mp3 or wave file?

Look up "Bounce-to-Disk" in the Reference manual. You need to buy the mp3 option to directly export to mp3, although as you probably know, there are many free apps that will convert a bounced BWF(wave) to mp3 (or AAC).
