Irrational. Sum of a rational and an irrational number is always irrational.
Proof by contradiction:
Let's say x is a rational no and y is an irrational no
Suppose: x+y is rational
Let x+y = z
So z is supposedly a rational no.
Now sum of 2 rational numbers is always rational.
Let's add -x to z, as x is rational so -x is also rational.
z-x = x+y-x = y
But we know that y is irrational.
Hence x+y must be irrational.
