Answer:
let us assume that 6 -2 root5 is a rational number.
Therefore ,
6 -2root 5 = p / q where p and q are integers and q ia not equal to 0.
6 - 2root 5 = a / b where a and b are co-prime .
\sqrt{5} = \frac{a}{2b} + 6
5
=
2b
a
+6
Therefore ,
This contradicts the fact that root 5 is rational .
This is because of our weong assumption that 6 - 2root 5 is rational .
Therefore 6 - 2 root 5 is irrational
