          Let's take $x, y in mathbb{R}$ and $t in mathbb{Q}$ such that $t<x+y$.



          Therefore you have $t-y < x$, so there exists a rationnal $r in mathbb{Q}$ such that $t-y < r <x$.



          You can now consider $s = t-r$. Of course you have $s in mathbb{Q}$ because $t,r in mathbb{Q}$. Moreover, $t=r+s$ obviously. And finally, you have $s = t-r < t-(t-y) = y$.



          You get the result.
