You add two addends to get a sum. For example, in 3 + 5 = 8, 3 and 5 are addends, and 8 is the sum.
In 1 + 2 = 31 and 2 are the addends and 3 is the sum of the two addends.
in the equation 3+4=7, 3 and 4 are the addends. 7 is the sum.
The sum could be anything, but it would be a positive number if the two addends are positive.
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.
