R H S : 5 x + 1 5 x 2 ( A M G M ) RHS:5^x+\dfrac{1}{5^x}\geq 2~~(\because\color{#D61F06}{AM\geq GM})

L H S : sin ( e x ) [ 1 , 1 ] x R LHS: \sin(e^x)\in[-1,1]\forall x\in\mathbb R

Hence there is no x R x\in \mathbb{R} for which equation is true. Hence answer is 0 \boxed{0} .

1 sin ( e x ) 1 -1 \le \sin(e^{x}) \le 1
Using AM-GM inequality,

5 x + 5 x 2 5^{x} + 5^{-x} \ge 2
Thus there exists no solution.
