76 + 12 = 88

How do you check that 76 + 12 = 88?

Subtract one addend from the sum: 88 − 12 = 76, and 88 − 76 = 12. Getting the other addend back means the sum is right.

How many carries are there in 76 + 12?

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

Is 12 + 76 the same as 76 + 12?

Yes. Addition is commutative, so both give 88; the column looks the same with either number on top.
