$${let}\:{t}=\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{5}+\sqrt{\mathrm{24}}}\right)^{{x}} >\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{5}−\sqrt{\mathrm{24}}}\right)^{{x}} =\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{5}+\sqrt{\mathrm{24}}}}\right)^{{x}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}} \\ $$$${t}−\mathrm{10}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}} \\ $$$${t}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{10}{t}−\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${t}=\mathrm{5}+\sqrt{\mathrm{26}}\:\:\:\:\left(\mathrm{5}−\sqrt{\mathrm{26}}\:<\mathrm{0}\:{rejected}\right) \\ $$$$\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{5}+\sqrt{\mathrm{24}}}\right)^{{x}} =\mathrm{5}+\sqrt{\mathrm{26}} \\ $$$$\frac{{x}}{\mathrm{2}}×\mathrm{ln}\:\left(\mathrm{5}+\sqrt{\mathrm{24}}\right)=\mathrm{ln}\:\left(\mathrm{5}+\sqrt{\mathrm{26}}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}=\frac{\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{ln}\:\left(\mathrm{5}+\sqrt{\mathrm{26}}\right)}{\mathrm{ln}\:\left(\mathrm{5}+\sqrt{\mathrm{24}}\right)} \\ $$
