71 + 26 = 97

How do you check that 71 + 26 = 97?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 97 − 26 = 71, and 97 − 71 = 26. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

How many carries are there in 71 + 26?

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