let 2-3root5 be rational number
2-3root5 = a/b ( a and b are co prime )
root5 = a+2b/3b
root5 and a+2b/3b are rational numbers.
root5 = k/s ( k and s are co prime )
5 = k^2/s^2
5s^2 = k^2 .........1
k^2 is divisible by 5
k is also divisible by 5
k = 5c .............2
Pu5 equation 2 in 1
25 c^2 = 5 s^2
5c^2 = s^2
s^2 is divisible by 5
s is also divisible by 5
it contradict that s and k are co prime numbers. So, our supposition was wrong.
2-3root5 is an irrational number
