b) p only
c) q only

Answer 3

which is it? is r a prime?

Answer 4

Yes p,q, and r are all primes

if p and q are prime numbers, then if they are odd numbers
what kind of number do you get when you subtract two odd numbers?

Answer 6

odd?

Answer 7

No even

Answer 8

7-5?
21-19?

k-i is an integer and 2 times any integer gives us an even number
