1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\frac{\log\left(\frac{10}{x}\right) - 1}{\log\sqrt[5]{x}}$$.
2. **Recall logarithm properties:**
- $$\log\left(\frac{a}{b}\right) = \log a - \log b$$
- $$\log a^b = b \log a$$
- The 5th root of $$x$$ is $$x^{\frac{1}{5}}$$, so $$\log\sqrt[5]{x} = \log x^{\frac{1}{5}} = \frac{1}{5} \log x$$.
3. **Apply the properties to the numerator:**
$$\log\left(\frac{10}{x}\right) - 1 = \log 10 - \log x - 1$$.
Since $$\log 10 = 1$$ (assuming base 10), this becomes:
$$1 - \log x - 1 = -\log x$$.
4. **Rewrite the denominator:**
$$\log\sqrt[5]{x} = \frac{1}{5} \log x$$.
5. **Substitute back into the expression:**
$$\frac{-\log x}{\frac{1}{5} \log x}$$.
6. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$= \frac{-\log x}{\frac{1}{5} \log x} = -\log x \times \frac{5}{\log x}$$.
7. **Cancel common factors:**
$$= -\cancel{\log x} \times \frac{5}{\cancel{\log x}} = -5$$.
**Final answer:** $$-5$$.
