Given the inequality:
$$-5 + \frac{5}{\sqrt{x} - 1} \geq -1$$
To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
$$-5 + \frac{5}{\sqrt{x} - 1} = -1$$
Solve:
$$x_{1} = \frac{81}{16}$$
$$x_{1} = \frac{81}{16}$$
This roots
$$x_{1} = \frac{81}{16}$$
is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
$$x_{0} \leq x_{1}$$
For example, let's take the point
$$x_{0} = x_{1} - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$- \frac{1}{10} + \frac{81}{16}$$
=
$$\frac{397}{80}$$
substitute to the expression
$$-5 + \frac{5}{\sqrt{x} - 1} \geq -1$$
$$-5 + \frac{5}{-1 + \sqrt{\frac{397}{80}}} \geq -1$$
