Let as assume that √2 + √3 is a rational number .

Then , there exists co - prime positive integers p and q such that

 \sqrt{2}  +  \sqrt{3}  =  \frac{p}{q}  \\  \frac{p}{q}  -  \sqrt{3}  =  \sqrt{2}  \\ sq \: on \: both \: side \\ ( \frac{p}{q}  -  \sqrt{3}  {)}^{2}  =  \sqrt{2}   {}^{2}  \\  after \: solving \:  \sqrt{3}  \: is \: answer

This contradicts the fact that √3 is irrational .

so assumption was incorrect . Here √2 + √3 is irrational.
