Let's solve this addition problem. We have 5217 and 2914, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 4 in column 1 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 9 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 5 & 2 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 5217 + 2914 = 8131.
