If either r or s is not divisible by 3, in which cases will r+s be divisible by 3? any insights?

In case the remainder when r and s are divided by 3 are 1 and 2.

Thanks everybody.

OG's explanation seems to say that there can be a case when if either r or s are not divisible by three, r + s might be divisible by three.
I can't find any, because we need r and s to be div. by 3 for the sum to retain the divisibility by three, unless r and s are decimals (eg.: 1,5 + 7,5 = 9)
