Okay, we are given 492 and 290. Let's add them up step by step.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 1 and get 2.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 2 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 2 in column 3 and get 7.

So, 492 + 290 = 782.
