Sue wrote a double fact it has a sum less than 10 and greater than 4 the addends are each less than 5 what fact might she have written

If the sum is less than 10 and greater than 4 that limits you to 5,6,7,8,9.
The addends are less than 5 so it could be 4+4, 4+3, 4+2, 4+1
This shows that Sue might have written 5,6,7, or 8.

Answer:

[tex]4 < x+y<10[/tex]

[tex]x < 5, y < 5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Let x and y be the two addends whose sum is being evaluated.

It is given that the sum is greater than 4 and smaller than 10. This can be written with the help of inequality:

[tex]4 < x+y<10[/tex]

Also, each addend is less than 5. This can the written in the form of inequality:

[tex]x < 5, y < 5[/tex]

If we solve these linear inequalities in two variable, we may be able to get the values of x and y.

The common area of the following inequalities gives us the solution to the problem. There could be various values of x and y to give the solution of these inequities.
