Answer:
on the contrary let us suppose that 2+3 root 5 is not irrational
it is a rational number
let 2+3root5 in p/q form
where p and q are integers and q is not equals to zero
2+3root5=p/q
3root5=p/q-2
3root5= p-2q/q
root5=p-2q/3q equation (i)
as p and q are integers
p-2q and 3q are also integers
therefore p-2q/3q is rational
root5 is also rational/from equation (i)
which is contradiction to the fact of root 5 is irrational
hence our supposition is wrong
2+3root5 is rational
