b) 36
c) 84
bers​

Answer 1

Answer:12=5+7

36=17+19

84=41+43

Step-by-step explanation:

So before starting to answer the problem i would first like to define twin primes.Pair of two prime numbers is called twin prime if difference between them is 2 . i.e. if let x and x+2 are prime number than they will be twin primes.

So for every question consider the pair as x ,x+2

So

a)12=x+x+2

10=2x

x=5 So 12=5+7

b)36=x+x+2

34=2x

x=17 So 36=17+19

c)84=x+x+2

82=2x

x=41 So 84=41+43

Hope it helps.
