We have numbers 5285 and 3541. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 1 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 4 in column 2 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

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

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

So, 5285 + 3541 = 8826.
