The difference would just be how you think of the process. I sometimes shuffle around the numbers to make math easier, but the shortcut for adding 9s just feels different. Instead of 9+7 = 10 + 6, it's more like 9+7 = 17-1. It feels less like solving it with math and more like using a cool trick, since you didn't really use addition to solve the addition problem.
