Find range of $x$ if $log_5bigg(6+dfrac{2}{x}bigg)+log_{1/5}bigg(1+dfrac{x}{10}bigg)leq1$

If $log_5bigg(6+dfrac{2}{x}bigg)+log_{1/5}bigg(1+dfrac{x}{10}bigg)leq1$, then $x$ lies in _______




My Attempt



$$
log_5bigg(6+dfrac{2}{x}bigg)+log_{1/5}bigg(1+dfrac{x}{10}bigg)=log_5bigg(6+dfrac{2}{x}bigg)-log_{5}bigg(1+dfrac{x}{10}bigg)leq1\
log_5frac{(6x+2)10}{x(10+x)}leq1impliesfrac{(6x+2)10}{x(10+x)}leq5\
frac{4(3x+1)}{x^2+10x}leq1\
implies 12x+4leq x^2+10xquadtext{or}quad12x+4>x^2+10x\
x^2-2x-4geq0quadtext{or}quad x^2-2x-4<0implies xinmathcal{R}
$$



My reference gives the solution $(-infty,1-sqrt{5})cup(1+sqrt{5},infty)$, what is going wrong here ?

          By your work we need to solve
          $$frac{x^2-2x-4}{x(x+10)}geq0$$ and the domain gives $x>0$ or $-10<x<-frac{1}{3}.$



          The first by the interval's method gives
          $$1-sqrt5leq x<0$$ or $$xgeq1+sqrt5$$ or $$x<-10,$$ which with our domain gives the answer:
          $$left[1-sqrt5,-frac{1}{3}right)cup[1+sqrt5,+infty).$$

            Writing your inequality in the form $$frac{lnleft(6+frac{2}{x}right)}{ln(5)}+frac{lnleft(1+frac{x}{10}right)}{-ln(5)}le 1$$ we get the inequalities
            $$6+frac{2}{x}>0$$ and $$1+frac{x}{10}>0$$ and
            $$frac{6+frac{2}{x}}{1+frac{x}{10}}le 5$$ we get
            $$1-sqrt{5}le x<-frac{1}{3}$$ or $$xgeq 1+sqrt{5}$$

                          $$6+frac{2}{x}>0$$ and $$1+frac{x}{10}>0$$ and
                          $$frac{6+frac{2}{x}}{1+frac{x}{10}}le 5$$ we get
                          $$1-sqrt{5}le x<-frac{1}{3}$$ or $$xgeq 1+sqrt{5}$$
