Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 6526 and 7042 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 2 in column 1 and get 8.

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

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 0 in column 3 and get 5.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 7 in column 4 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.
