Adding 10 to a whole number increases its value by one ten, so the ones digit stays the same while the tens place increases by one; for example, 23, 33, 43 forms a sequence with a constant difference of 10. When a tens place reaches 9, place-value regrouping carries to the hundreds place, as in 95 + 10 = 105, while the ones digit remains unchanged. The focus is on whole numbers in the familiar two- and three-digit range, not more advanced symbolic generalizations.
