Solve Vertical Addition: 10 + 32 Step-by-Step

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Align the numbers vertically so that each digit lines up according to its place value. Arrange 10 and 32 as follows:

$\begin{aligned} &10 \\ +& \\ &32 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} \end{aligned}$

• Step 2: Add the digits in the rightmost column (units place). Add $0$ (from 10) and $2$ (from 32) to obtain $2$.

Write the result $2$ beneath the line in the units column:

$\begin{aligned} &10 \\ +& \\ &32 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} \\ &\phantom{7}2 \\ \end{aligned}$

• Step 3: Move to the next column to the left (tens place) and add $1$ (from 10) and $3$ (from 32) to obtain $4$.

Write the result $4$ to the left of the $2$ in the tens column:

$\begin{aligned} &10 \\ +& \\ &32 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} \\ &42 \\ \end{aligned}$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $42$.
