No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 8873 and 4949 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 9 in column 1 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 4 in column 2 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 9 in column 3 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 4 in column 4 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8873 + 4949 = 13822.
