Step 1: Compute 52 + 28. Add the ones place: 2 + 8 = 10. Write 0, carry 1. r@r@r & 5 & 2 \\ + & 2 & 8 \\ & & 0 Add the tens place: 5 + 2 + 1 = 8. r@r@r & 5 & 2 \\ + & 2 & 8 \\ & 8 & 0 So, 52 + 28 = 80. 80 Step 2: From the balance scale picture, lb + 50 = 70. Subtract: lb = 70 - 50. 70 - 50 = 20. So, lb = 20 lb. Step 3: Compute lb + 25 = 20 + 25. Add the ones place: 0 + 5 = 5. Add the tens place: 2 + 2 = 4. r@r@r & 2 & 0 \\ + & 2 & 5 \\ & 4 & 5 So, 20 + 25 = 45 lb. 45 lb
