We've got two numbers: 8951 and 7170. Let's find their sum.

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

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 7 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 9 & 1 in column 3 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 7 in column 4 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8951 + 7170 = 16121.
