so the solution of this inequality make it true #x in(0.1]#

Explanation:

consider #f(x)=e^x-lnx-e/x# ,we have

#f'(x)=e^x-1/x+e/x^2#

argue that #f'(x)>0# for all real x and conclude noting that #f(1)=0#

#f(1)=e-ln1-e=0#

consider the limit of f as x goes to 0

#lim_(xrarr0)e^x-lnx-e/x#

#lim_(xrarr0^+)e^x-lnx-e/x=-oo#

In other words, by showing #f'(x)>0# you show that the function is strictly increasing, and if #f(1)=0# that means that #f(x)<0#
for #x<1# because the function always grows.

from the definition of #lnx#

#lnx# is defined for each #x>0#

from the definition of #e^x#

#e^x# is defined for each #x>=0#

but #e/x=e/0# undefined

so the solution of this inequality make it true #x in(0.1]#
