Solution Steps

00:00 Solve

00:03 Each time we consider combining 2 digits, and then we'll place

00:06 Let's start by combining ones with ones

00:09 Place the ones

00:12 Combine tens with tens

00:16 Place tens in tens, add 1 to hundreds

00:20 Combine hundreds with hundreds, remember to add 1

00:25 Place in hundreds

00:29 Combine thousands with thousands, place in thousands

00:36 Combine tens of thousands with tens of thousands, and place

00:40 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will perform vertical addition of the given numbers:

$\begin{aligned} &24789\\ +& \\ &35140 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}}\\ \end{aligned}$

We add column by column starting from the rightmost digit (units):

Units: $9 + 0 = 9$ . Write 9 below the line.
Tens: $8 + 4 = 12$ . Write 2 below the line and carry over 1 to the next column.
Hundreds: $7 + 1 + 1 (\text{carry}) = 9$ . Write 9 below the line.
Thousands: $4 + 5 = 9$ . Write 9 below the line.
Ten-thousands: $2 + 3 = 5$ . Write 5 below the line.

Putting it all together, the sum is $59929$ .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $59929$ .
