What is 36 + 12?

36 + 12 = 48

How do you check that 36 + 12 = 48?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 48 − 12 = 36, and 48 − 36 = 12. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

How many carries are there in 36 + 12?

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

Is 12 + 36 the same as 36 + 12?

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 48; the column looks the same with either number on top.
