Question

to make $48 + 34$ easier to solve, lou decides to first add on from 48 to get to the next ten.

add on to get to 50.
$48 + \boxed{2} = 50$

now, find the sum.
$\

$$\begin{align*} 48 + 34 &= 48 + (2 + 32) \\\\&= (48 + 2) + 32 \\\\&= \\boxed{?} \\end{align*}$$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate 48 + 2

First, we solve \(48 + 2\) which equals \(50\) (as given in the problem).

Step2: Add 32 to the result

Now, we take the result from Step 1 (\(50\)) and add \(32\) to it. So, \(50 + 32 = 82\).

Answer:

\(82\)
