950
+750
------
1700

First add the ones, then the tens (if it gives a two or higher digit value, add the extra digits to the next column). So for this example, 5+5 = 10, the one goes to the hundreds column.
Then add the hundreds, including the one that was moved over.

0+0=0
50+50=100
900+700=1600

100+1600=1700

With something this easy, I try to simply it a bit. I add 50 from the 750 to the 950 to get 1000. 1000+700=1700

Have a look at that. It's well written.

Re: Math

So to solve the problem you aim your thoughts at the little things first. You read from the right to the left. So the system is opposit the word system, unless you live in japan. The greatest part is also in the end, just like in spanish language. Good luck.
