Any real number \(x\in\mathbb R\) is by the corresponding proposition an equivalence class \(x:=(x_n)_{n\in\mathbb N} + I,\) where \((x_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}\) denotes a rational Cauchy sequence representing the real number \(x\), and where \(I\) denotes the set of all rational sequences, which converge to \(0\).
Given two real numbers \(x=(x_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}+ I\) and \(y=(y_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}+ I\), the addition of real numbers is defined by
\[\begin{array}{rcccl} x+y&:=&(x_n+y_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}+ I, \end{array}\]
where the result is the real number \((x_n + y_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}+ I \), called the sum of the real numbers \(x\) and \(y\). The sum exists and is well-defined, i.e. it does not depend on the specific representatives \((x_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}\) and \((y_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}\) of \(x\) and \(y\).
