Adding numeric variables in Lectora

I must be missing something simple. I have two variables I want to add to generate the contents of a 3rd variable..... so I have V1, V2, and V3. I want V3=V1+V2 I can see how to add constants, I don't see how to add numeric variables. I assume all variables are string, do I have to convert them some way to numeric?
