How do you check that 52 + 34 = 86?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 86 − 34 = 52, and 86 − 52 = 34. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

How many carries are there in 52 + 34?

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

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 86; the column looks the same with either number on top.
