well a possible start would be to show all the cases possible
q=2,3,6x-1,6x+1 and what each is equivalent to.
case q=2:
all parts are even so the result would be even so q=2 fails to meet the requirements
q=3:
produces 49 for the last one so q=3 is out.
q=6x-1:
produces : 90x-19, 90x-17,90x-13,90x-11
q=6x+1
produces: 90x+11,90x+13,90x+17,90x+19
now you need to show that for any x values that these are all prime create primes 6x+1 or 6x-1 or both infinitely often. x must already be of a certain form for 6x-1 or 6x+1 to be composite so prove infinitely often that these forms are not met ?
