Let us assume to the contrary that 2-√3 is rational. so,we can find coprimes a and b such that 2-√3=a/b where b≠0
so,√3=2-a/b
√3=2b-a/b
since 2,a and b are integers,2b-a/b is rational. so √3 is also rational. but this contradicts the fact that √3 is irrational. this contradiction has arisen because of our incorrect assumption that 2-√3 is rational. so,2-√3 is irrational
