first I would find all the ways to make 9
6+3=9
5+4
then I would find all the ways to make 10
6+4=10
5+5=10
then I would find all the ways to make 11
6+5
then I would find all the ways to make 12
6+6=12
then add the number of possibilities
9 + 10 + 11 + 12 = 6
There are 6 different ways to make a sum of 9 or more
