- 2√5-3 = p/q
- 2√5 = p/q +3
- 2√5 = (p+3q)/q
- √5 = (p+3q)/2q
We can see that LHS is an irrational number which can never be equal to RHS which is a rational number. Therefore, our assumption that 2√5-3 is a rational number is wrong. 2√5-3 is not a rational number, it is an irrational number.
Hence proved.
