Let's solve this addition problem. We have 1499 and 6970, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 0 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 2 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 9 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 6 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 1499 + 6970 = 8469.
