Let us assume, 5−√3​ is a rational number ⇒5−√3​=qp​, where p,q∈z,q=0 5−qp​=√3​ ⇒q5q−p​=√3​ ⇒√3​ is a rational number ∵q5q−p​ is rational but √3​ is not a rational number. This gives us a contradiction.  ∴ our assumption that 5−√3​ is a rational number is wrong  ⇒5−√3​ is an irrational number.

Let we assume that 5-√3 is rational.so we can write is on p/q where pq are coprime and q not equal to 0 5-√3=p/q √3=p/q-5 So p/q is integers so therefore √3 is rational But we know the fact that √3 is irrational Our assumption get wrong so therefore 5-√3 is irrational Hence proved....
