Answer:

Rational number minus irrational number will result in an irrational number respectively : 2 - √3 is an irrational number. And it's consequent results [ Addition ] will also result the same : Aslike : 2 + √3 is also an irrational number. If you dig deep into the question it is similar to the basic odd minus odd or even minus even.

Hope this helps <3

Answer:

They won't both be rational but that's about it. If one is rational and the other is not then the result is certainly irrational. Subtracting two irrational numbers might produce a rational value but it might also not. Consider: a=1+2–√, b=2–√ and a=3–√, b=2–√.
