This is the official answer for this question. I have the working out correct but i dont understand how to get to the final answer.
Use Product Rule, (fg)' = fg' +gf'
The right one is a bit more troublesome, use chain rule once

i already have though
in the second bottom line, you mixed up the polynomials.
it should be -15x^2 (5x-1)^(-2) divided by ((3x)(5x-1)^(-2)) plus 2(5x-1)
It is much easier to use the quotient rule for this question.
