Ready to do some math? We're starting with 3009 and 1551 and adding them up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 1 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 0 & 5 in column 2 and get 6.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 5 in column 3 and get 5.
