First, we look at the ones place.
Tens Ones
1 0
+ 9
-------------
We will add the numbers in the ones group together.
0 + 9 = 9
So, we'll write a 9 under the ones place.

1 0

1 0

9
Then, we'll look at the tens place and add them together. When there isn't a number in the tens place (such as 9), we assume that it's 0.
1 + 0 = 1
So, we'll write a 1 under the tens place.

Together, we have 19.
So, 10 + 9 = 19!
