Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate 89 plus 84 (89 + 84) using the Long Addition Method. We start by setting up our math problem as follows:
| 8 | 9 | |||||||
| + | 8 | 4 | ||||||
The next step is to add the ones digits together (9 + 4 = 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 | 9 | |||||||
| + | 8 | 4 | ||||||
| 3 |
Then in our final step, we add the tens digits together (including the 1 from the previous step): 8 + 8 + 1 = 17 and put that sum at the bottom:
| 1 | ||||||||
| 8 | 9 | |||||||
| + | 8 | 4 | ||||||
| 1 | 7 | 3 |
And that is how you solve 89 plus 84 using the Long Addition Method! The answer is displayed mathematically below:
89 + 84 = 173
