Proof

\sf Let \ us \ assume \ that \ 3-2\sqrt{5} \  is \ a \ rational \ number.

\sf Rational \ numbers \ can\  be\ expressed \ in \ the \ form \ \dfrac{p}{q}

\sf Where \ p \ and \ q \ are \ co-prime \ and \ q \neq  0

\implies 3-2\sqrt{5}=\dfrac{p}{q}

\implies-2\sqrt{5}=\dfrac{p}{q}-3

\implies-2\sqrt{5}=\dfrac{p-3q}{q}

\implies\sqrt{5}=\dfrac{p-3q}{-2q}

\implies\sqrt{5}=\dfrac{3q-p}{2q}

\sf \dfrac{3q-p}{2q} \ is \ a \ rational \ number

\implies \sf \sqrt{5} \ is \ a \ rational \ number

\sf But \ this \ contradicts \ to \ the \ fact \ that \ \sqrt{5} \ is \ an \ irrational \ number

\sf Hence \ our \ assumption \ is \ wrong

\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Therefore \ 3-2\sqrt{5} \ is \ an \ irrational \ number}}}}}}
