Two D weigh the same as one C, so you could take the two D off and put one C on instead.
In the D column, 1 + 1 is two D. That is one C and no D: write 0 under D and carry 1 into the C column.
Putting one thing in place of something equal to it is called substitution.
Moving the extra into the next column is called carrying.
