How do you check that 23 + 17 = 40?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 40 − 17 = 23, and 40 − 23 = 17. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

1 carry: every time a column added up to 10 or more, its ones digit was written and 1 was carried to the next column on the left.

Is 17 + 23 the same as 23 + 17?

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 40; the column looks the same with either number on top.
