Verified archiveTo solve the addition problem, we need to fill in the missing digits represented by underscores in the following equation:
5 _ 3 2
+ 9 8 1 9
+ 6 3 _ 7
___________
_ 5 7
Let’s break it down step by step:
1. Identify the columns: We will start adding from the rightmost column to the left.
2. Rightmost column:
– 2 + 9 + 7 = 18.
– We put down 8 (the rightmost digit) and carry over 1.
3. Next column (10s place):
– We have 3 (from the first number) + 1 (the carry) + 1 (from the second number) + 6 (from the third number) = 11.
– Again, we put down 1 (the rightmost digit) and carry over 1.
4. Next column (100s place):
– We have 5 (from the first number) + 1 (the carry) + 8 (from the second number) + 3 (which is the missing digit we denote as X in the third number) = 14 + X.
– This entire column must equal 5 in the result, accounting for carrying.
5. Setting up the equation:
