Identify Numbers: Identify the numbers to be added. We have two positive numbers, 5 and 2.
Add Together: Add the two numbers together. The sum of 5 and 2 is calculated as 5+2.
Perform Addition: Perform the addition. 5+2 equals 7.
Verify Result: Verify the result. Adding two positive numbers always results in a positive number, and the addition of 5 and 2 should result in a number greater than both 5 and 2. Since 7 is greater than both 5 and 2, the result is correct.
