3 + 2√5 = a/ b
2√5 =a/b -3
√5 =a-3b/2b
√5 is rational.
This contradicta the fact that √5 is irrational.
So our supposition is incorrect.
Hope this will help you.

let us assume that 3+2√5 is rational.
3+2√5=a/b (where a and b are coprimes and b is not equal to 0)
3+2√5=a/b
2√5= a/b-3
2√5= a-3b/b
√5=a-3b/2b
√5 is a irrational number and a-3b/2b is rational
this is a contradiction to the fact that 3+2√5 is rational.
therefore 3+2√5 is irrational
hence proved.
