Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

EXAMPLE
a(2)= 19 which is 8th prime. prime(8)-2*8= 19-16= 3 which is also prime.
a(6)= 67 which is 19th prime. prime(19)-2*19= 67-38= 29 which is also prime.
MAPLE
KD := proc() local a, b; a:= ithprime(n); b := a-2*n; if isprime(b) then RETURN (a); fi; end: seq(KD(), n=1..500);
MATHEMATICA
TK = Select[Table[{Prime[n], Prime[n] - 2*n}, {n, 200}], PrimeQ[#[[2]]] &]; Transpose[TK][[1]]
