6 + √7 is irrational number
Let us assume that, 6 + √7 is a rational number
=> 6 + √7 = a/b
Here, a and b are co-prime numbers.
=> √7 = a/b - 6
=> √7 = a - 6b/b
Here..
a - 6b/ b is rational number.
So, √7 is also a rational number.
But we know that √7 is irrational number.
So, our assumption is wrong.
6 + √7 is irrational number.
