Therefore, 5 −

– 5b−a
Rearranging this equation, we get √3 =

b b
–
Since a and b are integers, we get 5 − a
is rational, and so √3 is rational.
b
–
But this contradicts the fact that √3 is irrational
–
This contradiction has arisen because of our incorrect assumption that 5 − √3 is rational.

So, we conclude that 5 − √3 is irrational.
