Hey mate:-
Given : 7 − √5
LET US ASSUME THAT 7 − √5 IS RATIONAL NUMBER
∴ 7 − √5 = a/b (a,b ∈ z , where b ≠ 0) −√5 = a/b − 7 √5 = 7 − a/b
IF a,b ARE INTEGERS THEN 7 − a/b IS RATIONAL NUMBER.
SO √5 IS ALSO A RATIONAL NUMBER.
BUT THIS CONTRADICTS THE FACT THAT √2 IS IRRATIONAL. ∴ WE CONCLUDE THAT 7 − √5 IS Irrational
Hope it's help uh
