What is 54 + 15?

54 + 15 = 69

How do you check that 54 + 15 = 69?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 69 − 15 = 54, and 69 − 54 = 15. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

How many carries are there in 54 + 15?

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

Is 15 + 54 the same as 54 + 15?

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 69; the column looks the same with either number on top.
