Answer:

3 and 17

7 and 13

Explanation:

Three odd numbers add up to 25

This means that


x + y + z = 25

One of the numbers is 5

Using
z = 5

We have that:


x + y + 5 = 25


x + y = 20

Then

We need to find two prime numbers which add to 20.

The prime numbers are:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, ...

So the possible options are:

3 and 17

7 and 13
