The sum is composite because it is the same as multiplying the number by two.

Answer:

The result is composite.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's have an experiment. Suppose I gave you some primes:

3, 5, 7, 11.

Now let's add them:

3+3=6, and 6 is composite

5+5=10 and 10 is also composite

7+7=14 and 14 is also composite

11+11=22 and 22 is also composite.

Hope this helps you! :)
