Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

First of all, let s take x real number different from 5, as we cannot divide by 0


(x+5)/(x-5)\geq 0 \\ \\<=> (x+5\geq 0 \ and \ x-5> 0) \ or \ (x+5\leq 0 \ and \ x-5< 0) \\ \\<=> (x\geq -5 \ and \ x> 5) \ or \ (x\leq -5 \ and \ x< 5)\\ \\<=> x> 5 \ or \ x\leq -5

So the solution is


\Large \boxed{\sf \bf ]-\infty;-5]\cup]5;+\infty[}

Thanks
