Answer:
let us assume that 3 +7√3 is a rational number.
now let 3 +7√3 =a/b (a and b are co primes and b≠zero)
so 7√3 = a/b - 3
or
√3= a/7b - 3/7
since a and b are integers,therefore
a/7b - 3/7 is a rational number
hence, √3 is a rational number.
but √3 is an irrational number.
this shows that our assumption is in correct
so,3 +7√3 is an irrational number.
