we will solve this problem with the help of contradiction method.
let's assume that 7- root 5 is rational.
so 7 minus root 5equals to A/B, here A and B are coprime.
=7-A/B=ROOT 5
7 MINUS A/B IS A RATIONAL NUMBER. BUT ROOT 5 IS AN IRRATIONAL NUMBER. SO OUR ASSUMPTION PROVED WRONG.
THAT IS WHY 7 MINUS ROOT 5 IS AN IRRATIONAL NUMBER
