34 + 23 = 57

How do you check that 34 + 23 = 57?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 57 − 23 = 34, and 57 − 34 = 23. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

How many carries are there in 34 + 23?

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

Is 23 + 34 the same as 34 + 23?

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 57; the column looks the same with either number on top.
