Let's break this down. We're going to add 7406 and 2099 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 9 in column 1 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 9 in column 2 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 0 in column 3 and get 5.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 2 in column 4 and get 9.

So, 7406 + 2099 = 9505.
