3\sqrt{15}-x\sqrt{3}=-2\sqrt{15}
Factor 135=3^{2}\times 15. Rewrite the square root of the product \sqrt{3^{2}\times 15} as the product of square roots \sqrt{3^{2}}\sqrt{15}. Take the square root of 3^{2}.
-x\sqrt{3}=-2\sqrt{15}-3\sqrt{15}
Subtract 3\sqrt{15} from both sides.
-x\sqrt{3}=-5\sqrt{15}
Combine -2\sqrt{15} and -3\sqrt{15} to get -5\sqrt{15}.
\left(-\sqrt{3}\right)x=-5\sqrt{15}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-\sqrt{3}\right)x}{-\sqrt{3}}=-\frac{5\sqrt{15}}{-\sqrt{3}}
Divide both sides by -\sqrt{3}.
x=-\frac{5\sqrt{15}}{-\sqrt{3}}
Dividing by -\sqrt{3} undoes the multiplication by -\sqrt{3}.
x=5\sqrt{5}
Divide -5\sqrt{15} by -\sqrt{3}.
