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

Let the one prime number be x and therefore, the other twin prime number must be (x + 2).

 

According to the question,

Sum of two twin prime number = 60

x + (x + 2) = 60

2x + 2 = 60

 

∴ One prime number = x = 29

Other prime number = (x + 2) = (29 + 2) = 31

let the lower number be x, then other will be x+2. so, x+x+2 =60 => x = 29 and other number = 29+2 = 31

so numbers are, 29, 31 answer
