Let's break this down. We're going to add 9226 and 2761 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 1 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 6 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 7 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 2 in column 4 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9226 + 2761 = 11987.
