Solution Steps

00:00 Solve

00:03 Each time consider combining 2 digits, and then write down

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

00:09 Write down the ones, carry 1 to tens

00:13 Multiply tens with tens, remember to add 1 to the calculation

00:19 Write down tens in tens place, carry 1 to hundreds

00:24 Write 0 in the missing digits

00:28 Multiply hundreds with hundreds, remember to add 1

00:32 Write down the hundreds in hundreds place, carry 1 to thousands

00:35 Write 0 in the missing digits

00:38 Multiply thousands with thousands, and write in thousands place

00:42 And this is the solution to the problem

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we employ vertical addition as follows:

945
+ 88
_______

We'll add column by column, starting from the right (units place):

Units (right-most) Column:
Add 5 and 8 to get 13. Write down 3 and carry over 1 to the next column.
Tens Column:
Add 4 and 8 to get 12, plus the carry-over 1 equals 13. Write down 3 and carry over 1 to the hundreds column.
Hundreds Column:
Add 9 and the carry-over 1 to get 10. Write down 0, and carry over 1 to the thousands column (or simply add since it's the last position in this sum).

Adding these values gives us the final result:

945
+ 88
_______
1033

Therefore, the solution to the addition problem is $1033$ .
