Question

The sum of two twin prime numbers is 60. Find the prime numbers.

​

Answer 1

Answer: 29 and 31

Step-by-step explanation:

twin primes are primes whose difference is 2.

so let the primes be: x and x+2

now, x + x + 2 = 60

so     2x + 2 = 60 ⇒ 2x = 58 ⇒ x =29

x+2 = 31

so twin primes are 29 and 31

Answer 2

QUESTION :

The sum of two twin prime numbers is 60. Find the prime numbers.

ANSWER :

Let one prime number be x

And other be ( x + 2 )

According to the question,

2x + 2 = 60

2x = 60 - 2

2x = 58

x = 58 ÷ 2

x = 29

(x + 2) = 29 + 2 = 31

So,the twin prime number are 29 and 31.
