63 + 15 = 78

How do you check that 63 + 15 = 78?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 78 − 15 = 63, and 78 − 63 = 15. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

How many carries are there in 63 + 15?

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

Is 15 + 63 the same as 63 + 15?

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 78; the column looks the same with either number on top.
