Assume 2-3√5 be a rational no
therefore 2-3√5=a/b
hence √5=a-2b/3b
therefore a-2b/3b is a rational no
therefore √5 is a rational no
but we know that √5 is a irrational no
therefore our assumption was wrong that 2-3√5 is a rational no
therefore 2-3√5 is a irrational no

Answer:
First prove that square root of 5 is an irrational number.Then take 2-3*square root of 5 as a rational number.find the value in terms of square root of 5,and then by your assumption,square root of 5 is a rational number.but it contradicts the fact that it is an irrational number.so,2-3*square root of 5 is an irrational number.
