Answer:
Let us assume to the contrary that 2√5 − 3 is a rational number∴ 2√5 − 3 = p/q where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0⇒ √5 = p+3q/2q... 1Since p and q are integers∴ p +3a/2q is a rational number∴ √5 is a rational number which is a contradiction as √5 is an irrational number. Hence our assumption is wrong and hence 2√5 − 3 is an irrational number.
