What is 34 + 15?

34 + 15 = 49

How do you check that 34 + 15 = 49?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 49 − 15 = 34, and 49 − 34 = 15. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

How many carries are there in 34 + 15?

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

Is 15 + 34 the same as 34 + 15?

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 49; the column looks the same with either number on top.
