Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 9043 and 4709 and we're adding them together.

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 4 & 0 in column 2 and get 5.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 7 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 4 in column 4 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9043 + 4709 = 13752.
