Question

Express following number as the sum of twin primes - :

$12=.............+..............$

Answer 1

As we know that twin prime are the set of two prime numbers which differ by $2$.Ex - $(3,5),(5,7)........$etc

Since, we can express the number as the sum of two twin prime numbers.

So, $12=5+7$

In this expression $12$ expressed as the sum of twin primes $5$ and $7.$

Hence , we can write $12=5+7$.
