in the equation 3+4=7, 3 and 4 are the addends. 7 is the sum.
The sum of a set of addends whose sign is the same is the sum of the absolute values of the addends with the same sign as the addends.
The numbers you add together are called addends. If you add one number to another to form a sum, the number you add on can be called the augend. See the Penguin Dictionary of Mathematics.
In the sentence 3 + 3 = 6, the threes are the addends.
This is possible because the order of the addends does not matter. For example, 3+8 is the same as 8+3. No matter how you list the addends, the sum will always be the same.
