To determine the correct statement that describes the solution set of the radical equation $$ \sqrt{15-x}+x=3 $$, we need to analyze the solutions provided by Kris, which are $$ x=-1 $$ and $$ x=6 $$.

Let's substitute these values into the equation to check if they satisfy the equation:

1. For $$ x=-1 $$:
   $$ \sqrt{15-(-1)}+(-1)=3 $$
   $$ \sqrt{16}-1=3 $$
   $$ 4-1=3 $$
   $$ 3=3 $$

2. For $$ x=6 $$:
   $$ \sqrt{15-6}+6=3 $$
   $$ \sqrt{9}+6=3 $$
   $$ 3+6=3 $$
   $$ 9=3 $$

Both of these substitutions result in a false statement. Therefore, neither $$ x=-1 $$ nor $$ x=6 $$ is a solution to the equation.

The correct statement that describes the solution set of the radical equation is: $$ x=-1 $$ or $$ x=6 $$.
The correct statement is: $$ x=-1 $$ or $$ x=6 $$.
