Let's solve this by indirect proof,,,
Let's assume that √7-3 is a Rational Number.
So it can be written in p/q form ,
hence,
√7-3=p/q
√7 q =p+3q
here (p,q) are integers ,
LHS=Irrational
RHS=Rational
so,
LHS≠RHS
This is a contradiction,
Hence our assumption is wrong,
Hence √7-3 is an irrational number.
Hope it helps

Let us assume that √7 - 3 is rational.Then it will be of the form a/b ,where a,b are coprime Integers and b≠0.
√7 - 3 = a/b
On rearranging ,
√7= a/b + 3
Since,a/b and 3 are rational. So their sum will be rational.
Therefore √7 is rational number.
But we know that, √7 is irrational number.
Thus , there is a contradiction. Hence Our assumption is wrong that √7 - 3 is rational.
Hence,√7 - 3 is irrational
