The numbers between 60 and 100
with a ones digit that is two less than the tens digit are
64, 75, 86, and 97.
The numbers 64 and 86 are even, so they divide by 2 evenly,
and that means they are not prime.
It is obvious that 75 divides evenly by 5, so 75 is not prime either.
The prime number between 60 and 100 and whose ones digit is two less than its tens digit is
