proof or given a counter example:  if p,q are prines with p>q, and ∃s prime  such s∈(q,p) then  p−q≤Σ_(r∈(q,p),r is prime) r
$${proof}\:{or}\:{given}\:{a}\:{counter}\:{example}: \\ $$$${if}\:{p},{q}\:{are}\:{prines}\:{with}\:{p}>{q},\:{and}\:\exists{s}\:{prime} \\ $$$${such}\:{s}\in\left({q},{p}\right)\:{then} \\ $$$${p}−{q}\leqslant\underset{{r}\in\left({q},{p}\right),{r}\:{is}\:{prime}} {\sum}{r} \\ $$$$ \\ $$

Finding a counter example will  need three consecutive primes  q, s, p such that  s=q+k  p>2q+k
