Seea solution process below:

First, to eliminate the parenthesis, multiply each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

$color(red)(sqrt(3))(2sqrt(5) - 3sqrt(3)) =>$

$(color(red)(sqrt(3)) * 2sqrt(5)) - (color(red)(sqrt(3)) * 3sqrt(3)) =>$

$2sqrt(3)sqrt(5) - 3sqrt(3)sqrt(3)$

We can now use this rule for multiplying radicals to simplify the expression:

$sqrt(color(red)(a)) * sqrt(color(blue)(b)) = sqrt(color(red)(a) * color(blue)(b))$

$2sqrt(color(red)(3))sqrt(color(blue)(5)) - 3sqrt(color(red)(3))sqrt(color(blue)(3)) =>$

$2sqrt(color(red)(3) * color(blue)(5)) - 3sqrt(color(red)(3) * color(blue)(3)) =>$

$2sqrt(15) - 3sqrt(9) =>$

$2sqrt(15) - (3 * 3) =>$

$2sqrt(15) - 9$
