No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 6481 and 8742 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 2 in column 1 and get 3.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 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 4 & 7 in column 3 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 8 in column 4 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 6481 + 8742 = 15223.
