\frac{\sqrt{15}\left(x+1\right)}{5}+\frac{\sqrt{5}\sqrt{3}}{\left(\sqrt{3}\right)^{2}}\left(x-1\right)=\frac{1}{15}
Rationalize the denominator of \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{3}} by multiplying numerator and denominator by \sqrt{3}.
\frac{\sqrt{15}\left(x+1\right)}{5}+\frac{\sqrt{5}\sqrt{3}}{3}\left(x-1\right)=\frac{1}{15}
The square of \sqrt{3} is 3.
\frac{\sqrt{15}\left(x+1\right)}{5}+\frac{\sqrt{15}}{3}\left(x-1\right)=\frac{1}{15}
To multiply \sqrt{5} and \sqrt{3}, multiply the numbers under the square root.
\frac{\sqrt{15}\left(x+1\right)}{5}+\frac{\sqrt{15}\left(x-1\right)}{3}=\frac{1}{15}

\frac{8\sqrt{15}x-2\sqrt{15}}{15}=\frac{1}{15}
Combine like terms in 3\sqrt{15}x+3\sqrt{15}+5\sqrt{15}x-5\sqrt{15}.
8\sqrt{15}x-2\sqrt{15}=\frac{1}{15}\times 15
Multiply both sides by 15.
8\sqrt{15}x-2\sqrt{15}=1
Cancel out 15 and 15.
8\sqrt{15}x=1+2\sqrt{15}
Add 2\sqrt{15} to both sides.
8\sqrt{15}x=2\sqrt{15}+1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{8\sqrt{15}x}{8\sqrt{15}}=\frac{2\sqrt{15}+1}{8\sqrt{15}}
Divide both sides by 8\sqrt{15}.
x=\frac{2\sqrt{15}+1}{8\sqrt{15}}
Dividing by 8\sqrt{15} undoes the multiplication by 8\sqrt{15}.
x=\frac{\sqrt{15}}{120}+\frac{1}{4}
Divide 1+2\sqrt{15} by 8\sqrt{15}.
