52 + 23 = 75

How do you check that 52 + 23 = 75?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 75 − 23 = 52, and 75 − 52 = 23. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

How many carries are there in 52 + 23?

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

Is 23 + 52 the same as 52 + 23?

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 75; the column looks the same with either number on top.
