What is an irrational plus two rational numbers?
Since the sum of two rational numbers is rational, the answer will be the same as for the sum of an irrational and a single rational number. It is always irrational.
Can a real number that is not a rational number be an irrational number?
Yes it will be. The set of real numbers can be divided into two distinct sets: rational and irrational. So if it is not rational, then it is irrational.
How the difference of two rational numbers can be rational and irrational?
