Hi, welcome to the forum! Please have a look at How to use the forum and act accordingly. Like using code tags and telling the problem (what do you want and what happens).

while (distance1 < 10)
      {
        Serial.println("the distancex is less than 5");

That message is going to look really stupid when the distance is 9.
