Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume as rational number..

3 +  \sqrt{5}  =  \frac{x}{y}  \\  \sqrt{5 }  =  \frac{x}{y}  - 3 \\  \sqrt{5}  =  \frac{x - 3y}{y}  \\ hence \:  \sqrt{5} is \: irrational \: number \\ but \:  \frac{x - 3y}{y}  \: is \: rational \: number.... \\ so \: irrational \: number \: is \: not \: equal \: to \: rational \: number..

So our assumption is contradiction...

So that is a irrational number..
