Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate 84 plus 79 (84 + 79) using the Long Addition Method. We start by setting up our math problem as follows:
| 8 | 4 | |||||||
| + | 7 | 9 | ||||||
The next step is to add the ones digits together (4 + 9 = 13). Since the sum creates 1 tens digit, we put the 1 in the tens column, and the 3 at the bottom of the ones:
| 1 | ||||||||
| 8 | 4 | |||||||
| + | 7 | 9 | ||||||
| 3 |
Then in our final step, we add the tens digits together (including the 1 from the previous step): 8 + 7 + 1 = 16 and put that sum at the bottom:
| 1 | ||||||||
| 8 | 4 | |||||||
| + | 7 | 9 | ||||||
| 1 | 6 | 3 |
And that is how you solve 84 plus 79 using the Long Addition Method! The answer is displayed mathematically below:
84 + 79 = 163
