Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 295 and 685 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 5 in column 1 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 8 in column 2 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 6 in column 3 and get 9.

So, 295 + 685 = 980.
