If $$2x+y>0$$, $$2y>x$$, and $$y<3$$, what is the range of all possible values of $$x+y$$?
From the given inequalities:
Substitute $$x < 2y$$ into the first inequality:
$$2(2y) + y > 0 \implies 5y > 0 \implies y > 0$$
Combining this with $$y < 3$$, we get the range for $$y$$:
$$0 < y < 3$$
From the inequalities for $$x$$, we have:
$$-\frac{y}{2} < x < 2y$$
Adding $$y$$ across the inequality to form $$x + y$$:
$$-\frac{y}{2} + y < x + y < 2y + y$$
$$\frac{y}{2} < x + y < 3y$$
Using the bounds of $$y$$ ($$0 < y < 3$$):
Thus, the range of all possible values for $$x + y$$ is from $$0$$ to $$9$$ exclusive.
The correct option is B.
