Question 24
Distinct primes $p,q$ are such that $x^2-px+q=0$ has distinct positive integer roots. Find $\alpha+\beta$.
Notation clarification: the source does not explicitly define alpha and beta. In this practice question, alpha and beta denote the two distinct positive integer roots of the displayed quadratic.
