FAQ

What is 23 + 12?

23 + 12 = 35

How do you check that 23 + 12 = 35?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 35 − 12 = 23, and 35 − 23 = 12. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

How many carries are there in 23 + 12?

None: no column adds up to 10 or more, so every digit of the sum is written straight away.

Is 12 + 23 the same as 23 + 12?

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 35; the column looks the same with either number on top.
