We did one just like this yesterday, but instead of  '3' it was 19......

 

Remember..?   Can you not do what we did there to this problem???

You need  two numbers that multiply togethe to get 3 (which is prime).....there are two combos of numbers to do that....what are they?

 

Those two number sets  are then added together to get 'b'.......got it?
