Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate 69 plus 3 (69 + 3) using the Long Addition Method. We start by setting up our math problem as follows:
| 6 | 9 | |||||||
| + | 0 | 3 | ||||||
The next step is to add the ones digits together (9 + 3 = 12). Since the sum creates 1 tens digit, we put the 1 in the tens column, and the 2 at the bottom of the ones:
| 1 | ||||||||
| 6 | 9 | |||||||
| + | 0 | 3 | ||||||
| 2 |
Then in our final step, we add the tens digits together (including the 1 from the previous step): 6 + 0 + 1 = 7 and put that sum at the bottom:
| 1 | ||||||||
| 6 | 9 | |||||||
| + | 0 | 3 | ||||||
| 7 | 2 |
And that is how you solve 69 plus 3 using the Long Addition Method! The answer is displayed mathematically below:
69 + 3 = 72
