Let's solve this addition problem. We have 8722 and 5214, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 4 in column 1 and get 6.

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

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 5 in column 4 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8722 + 5214 = 13936.
