Your formatting is ambiguous. Do you mean any of the following?

. . . . .a) sqrt[15] x^2 - 5 sqrt[3] x + 3 sqrt[5] x - 15 = 0

. . . . . $\mbox{which means: }\, \sqrt{15} x^2\, -\, 5\sqrt{3}x\, +\, 3\sqrt{5}x\, -\, 15\, =\, 0$

. . . . .b) sqrt[15 x^2] - 5 sqrt[3 x] + 3 sqrt[5 x] - 15 = 0

. . . . . $\mbox{which means: }\, \sqrt{15 x^2}\, -\, 5\sqrt{3x}\, +\, 3\sqrt{5x}\, -\, 15\, =\, 0$

. . . . .c) sqrt[15 x^2] - 5th-rt[3 x] + cbrt[5 x] - 15 = 0

. . . . . $\mbox{which means: }\, \sqrt{15x^2}\, -\, \sqrt[5]{3x}\, +\, \sqrt[3]{5x}\, -\, 15\, =\, 0$

Or something else?

When you reply, please include a clear listing of your steps and reasoning so far, so we can "see" where you are getting stuck. Thank you!
