Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate 28 plus 9 (28 + 9) using the Long Addition Method. We start by setting up our math problem as follows:
| 2 | 8 | |||||||
| + | 0 | 9 | ||||||
The next step is to add the ones digits together (8 + 9 = 17). Since the sum creates 1 tens digit, we put the 1 in the tens column, and the 7 at the bottom of the ones:
| 1 | ||||||||
| 2 | 8 | |||||||
| + | 0 | 9 | ||||||
| 7 |
Then in our final step, we add the tens digits together (including the 1 from the previous step): 2 + 0 + 1 = 3 and put that sum at the bottom:
| 1 | ||||||||
| 2 | 8 | |||||||
| + | 0 | 9 | ||||||
| 3 | 7 |
And that is how you solve 28 plus 9 using the Long Addition Method! The answer is displayed mathematically below:
28 + 9 = 37
