Step-by-step explanation:
let us assume that 5- /3 is rational
5-/3 = a ( where a and b are coprime and b not
b equal to 0)
/3= a - 5
b
/3= a - 5b
b
since a and b are integers
a- 5b is rational
b
therefore /3 is rational
but we know that /3 is irrational
this contradicts our assumption
therefore 5-/3 is irrational
