We've got two numbers: 4031 and 4254. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 4 in column 1 and get 5.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 5 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 2 in column 3 and get 2.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 4 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 4031 + 4254 = 8285.
