No solutions

If a=2, then a+2 = 4 which is not prime

If a=1 then a+3 = 4 which is not prime

Any other prime number must be odd, thus a+3 will be even and not prime.

Therefore, no solutions

No solutions.

(1) Prime numbers are GREATER THAN ONE, by definition.

(2) If 'a' is greater than 1, then one of (a+2) and (a+3) must be even, therefore not prime.
