Answer

$5\sqrt3-3\sqrt5$

Work Step by Step

$\sqrt5(\sqrt{15}-3)\longrightarrow$ use the distributive property =$(\sqrt5)(\sqrt{15})-(\sqrt5)(3)\longrightarrow$ multiplication property of square roots =$\sqrt{75}-3\sqrt5\longrightarrow$ factor the perfect square out of 75 =$\sqrt{25\times3}-3\sqrt5\longrightarrow$ multiplication property of square roots =$(\sqrt{25})(\sqrt3)-3\sqrt5\longrightarrow$ simplify =$5\sqrt3-3\sqrt5$
