Okay, we are tasked with adding 649 and 531. Let's begin!

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 4 & 3 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 5 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.
