Okay, we are tasked with adding 706 and 980. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 0 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 9 in column 3 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 706 + 980 = 1686.
