No problem, let's work through this together. We're starting with 7552 and 1040 and adding them all up.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 0 in column 1 and get 2.

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

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 7 & 1 in column 4 and get 8.

So, 7552 + 1040 = 8592.
