How do you check that 45 + 15 = 60?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 60 − 15 = 45, and 60 − 45 = 15. 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.

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 60; the column looks the same with either number on top.
