Explanation:

The question is not exactly worded in such a way that one can tell how it should be answered.

If it means that 40 is the suim of 2 primes done 3 ways then the 3 answers are

17 + 23

37 + 3

11+ 29

So the difference between 37 and 29 = 8

There are no guarantees about this answer. I'm just doing it the way the question reads.
