Let's break this down. We're going to add 9544 and 9370 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 0 in column 1 and get 4.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 7 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 9 in column 4 and get 18.
We'll write down the last digit 8 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9544 + 9370 = 18914.
