Line up the decimal points, then add or subtract just like whole numbers. Add zeros on the right to make the number of decimal places match if needed.

Example: 7.4 + 2.65
```
7.40

------
10.05
```
The decimal point in the answer goes directly under the others. (Multiplication and division of decimals are next-class topics.)
