00:05 Each time consider combining 2 digits, and then place

00:08 Place the ones digit, add 1 to the tens

00:12 Add tens with tens, remember to add 1 to the calculation

00:17 Place tens in tens position, add 1 to hundreds

00:22 Place 0 in the missing digits

00:25 Add hundreds with hundreds remember to add 1, place in hundreds

00:29 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

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

Step 1: Align the numbers 746 and 68 by place value. Since 68 is a 2-digit number, place it beneath the 746 aligning to the right.
Step 2: Add the digits in the units place: 6 (from 746) + 8 (from 68) equals 14. Write down 4 and carry over 1 to the tens place.
Step 3: Add the digits in the tens place plus the carried over 1: 4 (from 746) + 6 (from 68) + 1 (carried over) equals 11. Write down 1 and carry over 1 to the hundreds place.
Step 4: Add the digits in the hundreds place plus any carry: 7 (from 746) + 0 (from 68 as there's no hundreds place in 68) + 1 (carried over) equals 8.

Thus, the complete sum is formed by reading down the digits you have written from top to bottom in each column after handling carries: 814.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $814$ .
