Answer 1

Answer:

-2 is the answer. Sorry for telling for

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

H. C. F of two prime numbers is 1.  Product of numbers = 1 x 161 = 161.

Let the numbers be a and b . Then , ab= 161.

Now, co-primes with  product 161 are (1, 161) and (7, 23).

Since x and y are prime numbers and x >y , we have x=23 and y=7.

∴  3y-x = (3 x 7)-23 = -2
