Let 5 + 3{tex}\sqrt{2}{/tex} be a rational number.
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 5 + 3{tex}\sqrt{2}{/tex} = {tex}\frac{p}{q}{/tex}, p, q {tex}\in{/tex} I, q {tex}\ne{/tex} 0
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 3{tex}\sqrt{2}{/tex} = {tex}\frac{p}{q}{/tex} - 5{tex}\Rightarrow \sqrt{2}{/tex} = {tex}\frac{p - 5q}{3q}{/tex}
{tex}\frac{p - 5q}{3q}{/tex} is rational {tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} {tex}\sqrt{2}{/tex} is rational number which is a contradiction.
5 + 3{tex}\sqrt{2}{/tex} is irrational number.
